She had a double major in collage and entered at 16. She said ," I didn't date a lot, because it was illegal." Everyone laughed.
Felicia was a violin expert, and a math wiz."My Mom raised Me to be a Geisha", she said. Felicia used the internet as a way to find friends. She used the web to help propel her into the world she is in now. She said "I was the embodiment of pluck." She has very obsessive personality, she said.
She said "I was very killable", regarding the roles she has played in Hollywood.
Felicia knows that the thing that makes you weird, or makes you stand out, is the thing that you can use to help you overcome and achieve what you want in life. She encourages us to take the thing that makes you quirky and use that as a positive in your life. Her book is out in August 15th.
