"Yes, I can. My mom wouldn't let me drive an automatic until I knew how to drive a manual, so I grew up learning how to drive on my great-grandpa's 1940 F1. And so, if you guys know what that is, it's like the steering wheel's huge, the shift is crazy, it's old, so it's going to stick. And that's what I had to learn to drive on."

"I can. I mean, I'm not an expert. I'm still learning. But my best friend's dad, Rod Emery, he builds and restores classic Porsches, and a few years ago, I was on Bring a Trailer. It's this website where you can auction cars and buy cars. And I got an old 1969 Bronco. And I called him up, and I was like, I just got it. I felt like I was in Vegas, and I was winning. And I got the Bronco, and I needed to do some work on it. And so, he was gracious enough to let me bring my Bronco into his Porsche shop, and open up a section. And I would come in every day after work, or if I didn't work, and he would teach me how to work on the car. So, I changed the transmission, I changed the drum brakes to disc brakes, I rebuilt the inside, worked on the engine, and that was it. So, now, I'm working on my next car, and it's going to be a 1963-56. So, I just got the old body of it, and it's all rusted, and Rod and I are going to build it together. So, on my days off, I'm going to go into working on that. Yeah."

"Creep is my go-to karaoke song. What's the other one? Sweet Caroline. That is a fun one. It gets the whole crowd into it. You're going to dance on the bar. It's usually a good time, but I think it's more fun when you can't sing because then it makes people feel more comfortable around you and they feel like they can join in too, so it's okay."

"I have two dogs. I have Tank, who has been in my life since I was, like, 16. She's a mutt. I rescued her. And then I have Sully, who is a German Shepherd. He's about eight months old now, and he is, I call him Silly Sully. He's a floppy bear. I am a very loving dog mom. I try to set rules, but those rules tend to be broken with kisses and treats. They sleep in the bed with me. We run and cuddle. They're the best soulmates, honestly."
