What’s your favorite memory as a kid when you were raised by your father?  

Many lovely memories... But I loved playing sports or working out with him. Also, singing and dancing! (Smiles) 
 
What was one special thing you and your dad used to do together as a kid, and even now?  

Sing songs for no reason - we can just randomly start singing anywhere. 
 
What is the most important thing he taught you?  

To be courageous, and to always be me.

He taught me to think and analyse things practically. It helps me even now.

Nothing at all. He’s happy the way he is, and so are we -- his daughters.
