Annabeth has sent along her answers for the most recent set of Q&As submitted. Enjoy!
----------
Name: Stéphanie
Question: I wonder if you have/had someone, like your fans have in you, who influenced your life in some way.
Maybe also an actress? Maybe friends you met through your work as an actress? And how exactly have they influenced your life?
Annabeth's Answer: Oh damn, it's too hard for me to name just one ... Today, in this moment, I'll pick my meditation
teacher ... I have been studying with her for over 10 years. She is not a guru of any kind, and would not ever want to
be ... however, in her classes and through her insights I have learned a great deal, and have been influenced tremendously.
The influence comes in the training of the mind, the connection to the Self and the practice of strengthening the spirit.
The cultivation of these aspects are the beginning of living a good and conscious life. On a lighter note, Christian Louboutin has influenced my life by designing gorgeous and sexy shoes ... I'm a [P]isces, what can I say, shoes are a passion ....

Name: Jaimie
Question: What do you look for specifically in a script which makes you want the job?
Annabeth's Answer: As I've gotten older, I've found that a guiding factor in my work choices is an aversion to
boredom ... It gets tiring and old playing the same thing over and over again ... so I have definitely been more daring of
late, taking roles available to me that are out of my comfort zone and roles that challenge me on as many levels as possible.
Breaking the mold. This year in particular I feel excited by and proud of the new aspects or colors I've been allowed to
explore and reveal--and hopefully as I am more willing to do this, more opportunities will come to meet my goal.
I also want jobs that stir it up, move emotions, and galvanize the spirit - both mine as an artist and yours as an
audience. I know I love watching movies and t.v. programs that do this, so of course I want to work on projects with that quality.
