AC
(DENNIS): Let's get to
know Linda Wang, the person even more. When you are not
working, what do you like doing for fun?
LINDA: Well, I enjoy playing tennis, hanging
out with close friends, traveling and reading. Speaking
of which, I have just finished reading a great book called
"Shanghai" The rise and fall of a decadent city.
It's a well-written readable biography about the city
of Shanghai by a wonderful Asian American female journalist
and writer named Stella Dong. If you love history, this
is definitely a book you should consider.
AC
(DENNIS): What
are your favorite spots to hang out in New York City?
LINDA: Wow! In New York there are just too many
places that I love to go. Hmmm, let's see... I guess
out of all the wonderful places, I would pick Soho and
Greenwich Village. I also enjoy Central Park West and
the upper west side between 66th and 89th street. |

AC
(DENNIS): Where do
you like to shop for clothing?
LINDA: I am everywhere when it comes to shopping! It's
also depends on my size. At one point, I was wearing a size
4 so my friends who worked at the Designer firms in New York
would ask me to stop by and they would let me pick out samples
of their latest creations.
AC (DENNIS):
And is there any certain brand
of clothing you prefer?
LINDA: I always mixed and match everything. Sometimes
when I buy an item from one designer such as "Betsy
Johnson", I will take
it apart and mix and match it with another item from "French
Connection." Or you may see me in an item from a boutique
in New York City called "Patricia fields" and
I'll mixed it with a T-shirt from the GAP. Just the other
day,
I wore a top from "Miu Miu" and matched it with
a pair of Levi's. It really depends on where I am going
and
what type of mood I am in. I usually like to wear casual
clothing with no makeup when I hang out with my close confidants.
AC (DENNIS): Do
you like to cook?
LINDA: I actually enjoy cooking very much because it
relaxes me. I cook mostly Chinese or Italian dishes.
At times, I will read a recipe and experiment with
it at home. Unfortunately not all of my creations are eatable.
(Laughter) So any risk takers out there, be prepare and bring
your own Pepto!
AC
(DENNIS): If you had one
word to describe yourself, what word would that be and why?
LINDA: Passionate. Because I do everything and I treat
my love ones with great passion.

AC
(DENNIS): What
do you look for in a man?
LINDA: A man with a pulse! (Laughter) Just kidding.
Well, an individual that is intelligent, honest, hard
working and with a great sense of humor; a person like
my father.
AC (DENNIS):
If you were given one wish in
this world, what would that be?
LINDA: End racism. I think it would definitely
resolve many problems around the world towards yesterday,
today and tomorrow.
AC
(DENNIS): Let's
do a fun "Word-play"
which I do with every celebrity I interview. I
give you a word and you give me your own definition:
LINDA:
a)
Asian Pride
- Understanding, accepting and respecting who you are
as a person.
b) Success
- Self-fulfillment.
c) Sex- Mature
individuals "making love" NOT "having sex."
|
AC
(DENNIS): Where
do you see yourself five years from now and what kind of professional
goals do you hope to accomplish?
LINDA: I really don't look that far. I live one day at a time.
So to answer your question, I hope to accomplish everything
on my "to do" list by the end of the day.
AC
(DENNIS): What
final words would you like to leave to your fans out there?
LINDA: Hello? Anyone there? Wake up! (Giggling)
Thank you all for taking the time to read this article
about me. Be true to yourself, and stay positive in everything
you do. We all have one life to live, so work hard and play hard!
