Q: When is your birthday?
A: September 26. My name day is March 1. Name Day is an Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition...we celebrate also the day in which the saint we're named after. Mine is Antonina (my Ukrainian/Slavic name).
Q: Favorite city?
A: Chicago. Love love Chicago...I also love the local music scene in Chicago so amazing. I miss places like Wise Fools and Elbo Room for live shows, best times ever. Another one is Toledo...they make me feel like such a celebrity people will ask for autographs, photos etc. it's so cool. I could care less either way but think it is so neat how friendly people are there.
Q: Favorite type of music?
A: I will listen to just about anything, my mp3 player will go from Tyga to Autumn McEntire to Staind pretty eclectic lol.
Q: Favorite holiday?
A: Halloween. I mean it's like Christmas for grown ups. But really my favourite is Pascha (Easter), celebrating Slavic Easter is so amazing.
Q: Time of day?
A: night owl...not a morning person at all not going to lie.
Q: How deal with bullies growing up?
A: It was so difficult. School was very hard for me...my Mum always encouraged me to write or do something creative which I did started writing around 13 or 14. In the past years it helped me deal with alot...when I lost both my parents writing definitely became an outlet for sure; I had alot of anger as a result so kind of acted out some...I've calmed down quite a bit.
Q: How to deal?
A: having creative outlets really helped me cope. I mean I would be in a super dark place right now in life if didn't have those outlets. I think we all have the potential for positive and negative but we need to feed the positive more no one is perfect by any means.
Q: Thoughts on modeling/dancing?
A: dance has been a part of my life since the age of 6. I remember my Mum took me to see Giselle and right then I knew dancing was for me been doing it ever since. Modeling started at 14 but my parents were so protective and they had every right to be. I am actually glad things are happening for me now that I am older because looking back wouldn't have been able to handle most things as now.
Q: Boys?
A: I like them. I don't believe in having types...it limits us I think at least. If trying to ask if I like someone then yes...but at the same time I don't do the whole gushy stuff. Mean, if things happen they happen. I don't drool over guys really never have. It's not that not interested just feel like if he notices me he'll take the initiative. It's how I approach dating in general, it shouldn't be forced...
Q: okay, so dating?
A: I mean...my last relationship kind of just ended. We had a really great relationship and learned alot from that experience. I learned that just because a relationship is great does not mean it's forever. I feel like maybe this was just preparation for the person I am supposed to be with we never know. We're still pretty much friends and are on good terms just we outgrew one another and ended up wanting different things. It happens, just pick up the pieces and move on with life.
Q: Is it true that in the Awakening two of the characters are based on celebrities and one of them you actually like?
A: yes...Damien who is based on Michael Fassbender. Saw him in Jane Eyre which was amazing and is one of my favourite novels. Joseph not really saying but those close to me know and yea...if he is available can definitely look me up haha. But really, I wrote it to deal with my break up that is how I deal, write things and let it go kind of like purging negativity in my life.
Q: Spotlight?
A: I don't need it to be content with life. I mean kind of grew up in it so it was never a driving force in my life I am just happy hanging out with my best friends and us being total goofballs because that is how we roll. Am I comfortable in it possibly...mean honestly celebrities aren't different than anyone else it's just what they do is magnified, but I do know quite a few people who constantly and will do almost anything to be in it...and that isn't me and nothing wrong with it just not me. I have my own career now in nursing so that makes me happy but growing up in it somewhat it does make relating to "normal" people difficult. I mean I do perform but that is more of me cultivating joy so to speak, but last week had someone tell me that performers just understand other performers better so I need to date another performer. Is he right...absolutely but hey I've always been known to do things on my terms and no one else's...there is no strict definition for being normal. Do I need the attention no way. Like with my twitter I don't have a gazillion followers but do know that loads read it which is why I make attempts to be responsible about what I post because it may not appear on my twitter but I do hear about it later haha.
