Kimberly Sabatini Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Find your voice, spread your wings and fly free... Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? A. Just one? I'm so fickle! I can't pick a favorite, but what food can't I imagine living without? Chocolate ice cream. Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain? A. It's a bogus answer because he's really good at heart, but I'm going to pick Snape from the Harry Potter series. But I think it suits me because I am that glass half-full kind of a girl and I can't help but believe that every villain has a little bit of Snape in them. Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be? A. I would be a Red-Tailed Hawk--I would fly. Q. What’s your greatest flaw? A. I'm selfish. *shudders* Learn more about Kimberly Sabatini
