Would She Rather?
We asked Amy some “Would you rather” questions, and here’s how she answered:
She would rather be a famous actor than a director.
She would rather see 10 minutes into her own future, than into the future of anyone else.
She’d rather read the book than watch the movie.
If she had to choose between a donkey and giraffe for a mode of transportation, she would pick a giraffe.
She’d rather spend the rest of her life living in an RV than on a sailboat.
