Elizabeth Harper: Faux Victorian meets movie set meets red wine on the sheets…
Angela: You’ve so many perfectly placed knicknacks throughout; do you pack any into your suitcase whilst traveling?

Angela: That’s a lot of traveling! Do you have a tour survival regimen?
Elizabeth: Xanax, Valium, sex…
Angela: Speaking of sex…What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done to a man, for a man, to get a man?
Elizabeth: I can’t publicly answer any of that!
