Q: Quinn Cummings was

one of my favorite child

stars. Is she still acting?

—Jennie S., Anaheim, Calif.

A: Cummings, 45, got an Oscar nomination at age 10 for The Goodbye Girl, but she hasn’t acted since appearing on Evening Shade in 1992. “I realized I didn’t love it anymore,” she says. She’s since found success as a writer. Her new book, The Year of Learning Dangerously, explores her decision to homeschool her 12-year-old daughter—who isn’t impressed by her mother’s acting past. “Moms by defi nition aren’t terribly interest-ing!” Cummings says.

P Quinn Cummings, circa 1978

Q: What does The Biggest

Loser trainer Bob Harper

say is the most common

weight loss mistake?

—Sarah B., Atlanta

A: “So many people think skipping breakfast will help them lose,”

Q: Where is the show

Grimm fi lmed?

—Grove, Houston

A: Portland, Oregon, is the shooting location for this drama’s unique blend of police procedural and storybook spookiness (currently airing Mon-days on NBC, 10 p.m.

says Harper, 47. “I’ve been in the health business for over 20 years, and I’ve seen how much that can slow down your metabolism.” For more get-thin tips, pick up his book The Skinny Rules and check out his blog at Parade.com/harper.

WALTER SCOTT ASKS …

Shia LaBeoufThe 26-year-old actor stars in Lawless (Aug. 29), the true story of the infamous bootlegging Bondurant brothers in Prohibition-era Virginia.

Did the action scenes measure up to Transformers?

The action in Transformers was more fantastical—we rehearsed it like a ballet. Lawless is dirtier and grimier. Could you relate to the camaraderie among the

Bondurant brothers? I’m an only child, so I’m pretty much a loner. It’s easier to not have too many things anchoring me. When I’m working, that’s my family.Did you always want to be an actor? Yeah, I would watch Steven Seagal movies and go into my room and try to beat my little teddy bear up, thinking I was him. And I would pull my curls back into a Seagal ponytail—which looked ridiculous, but I tried!How do you feel about your Hollywood bad-boy image?

I’ve made mistakes along the way, but I’m learning. I’m more comfortable with myself, and I’m calming down.

Send questions to Walter Scott at [email protected] or to P.O. Box 5001, Grand Central Station, New York, N.Y. 10163-5001.

ET). “You’re in an urban setting, but in 10 minutes you’re somewhere that’slike the Black Forest,” exec-utive producer Norberto Barba says. “It has a fairy-tale look that also can be foreboding.” For more on the show’s scary style, go to Parade.com/grimm, where the series’ “creature creator” gives tips on getting a Grimm look for Halloween.

Focus on the Flu:A flu shot is the number one way to protect yourself and your community against this disease

that puts 200,000 people in the hospital every year. Even healthy people can get the flu, and it

can be serious. In the United States, the influenza season may begin as early as September and

end as late as May. The influenza season usually peaks around February, so getting immunized

throughout the fall and winter is beneficial.

DAY AT THE MUSEUM No plans for Saturday, Sept. 29? Here’s a thought: Smith-sonian magazine is hosting its annual Museum Day Live!, which grants free admission to some 1,400 museums nationwide. Down-load tickets for a locale near you at smithsonian.com/museumday.

(3) THE PROPHET

Estranged brothers who’ve never quite recovered from their sister’s murder are confronted with the past again when another teenage girl disappears. Michael Koryta is a superb storyteller who counts Stephen King and Dennis Lehane among his fans.

(1) WHERE’D YOU GO,

BERNADETTE Agoraphobia and Antarctica are among the elements in Maria Semple’s terrifi c novel—told in emails, letters, and other documents—about a woman who’s falling apart and her feisty daughter, who’s trying to hold the family together.

(2) IN THE SHADOW OF

THE BANYAN Vaddey Ratner turns a very dark time in her childhood—the Khmer Rouge’s takeover of Cambodia in 1975—into lyrical fi ction that’s both a love story to her homeland and an unfl inching account of innocents caught in the crossfi re of fanaticism.

∏OMNEYS

A CONVERSATION WITH

THE

As the Republican convention gets under way, the candidate and his wife answer reader questions and re� ect on the campaign, the controversies, and the challenges ahead C O V E R A N D O P E N I N G P H O T O G R A P H S B Y B E N B A K E R

t’s probably

the closest the Romneys have come to kicking back during this campaign summer: a late July afternoon on glistening Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. Grandkids bounce on the trampoline, splash in the gentle waves, soak in the hot tub. The candidate’s eldest son, Tagg, 42, and his wife, Jen, keep an eye on their brood while a passel of campaign workers and friends stir things up in the kitchen.

But you’re never off the clock when you’re running for president, which is why Mitt Romney—wearing pressed jeans and a more relaxed demeanor than he does on the stump—and his radiant wife, Ann, agreed to this dinnertime conversation with PARADE

contributor Lynn Sherr. On the table, a typi-cal New England lobster-and-corn supper. Nearby, 2-year-old Johnny in a high chair, occasionally cooing at his adoring grand-mother. Coming before the announcement of his vice presidential pick and his awk-ward trip to Europe, the discussion focused on campaign vitriol, the governor’s hopes for the Republican convention (set to begin tomorrow in Tampa), and very pragmatic questions from readers (culled from Parade.com, CaféMom, and two GateHouse Media newspapers: the Peoria Journal Star and the Canton Repository) about Romney’s wealth

and how he would have voters’ backs if elected president.PARADE: Governor, your campaign speeches

talk about the middle class, but the vast

majority of the questions we received from

readers asked about your ability to relate

to their struggles. In essence, how do you

know what it’s like to be someone without

means, someone, as one reader puts it,

“trying to scrape by, living on food stamps”?

MITT ROMNEY: Each of us faces struggles of one kind or another. Our life was not char-acterized by fi nancial stress as much as it was by health issues. I served as a pastor of a congregation and saw people with various challenges and did my best to help them. I believe my experience in the private sector, the voluntary sector, and government has helped teach me what it takes to help people with different types of challenges.We got this question from Kelsey M. of

Orange, Va. “[I’m] a stay-at-home mom

of two children. How will your presidency

improve my life?”

MR: One, you’ll be able to see better jobs with rising income again. And you’ll know that when your kids go to school, it’s a school of your choice, not the government’s. And you’ll know that when your kids come out of school, there will be a good job wait-ing for them. There were a number of questions about

your financial wealth. New Jersey resi-

dent Harry H. asked if you would make this

pledge: If elected, do you promise to bank

in the United States?

MR: My investments have been managed for almost the last 10 years by a blind trust. A trustee decides where to put our money. If I’m president, my understanding is the same principle applies, that I may not direct any of my investments. I can’t tell you what my investments might be because I won’t make them. But I’m happy to have every invest-ment in the United States.You’ve received a lot of criticism from your

opponents in the primaries. They said a lot

of nasty things. Did it hurt?

MR: No. That’s part of the political process. I don’t worry about that.

ANN ROMNEY: Interesting—it didn’t hurt at all this time.Why do you think that in a recent poll,

you lost out to the president in [voter]

enthusiasm?

MR: To most folks that don’t pay a lot of attention to the Republican primary process, I’m not so well known. As I get better known, people will have greater confi dence that I’m the person who can get this country working again for the middle class. It’s nice

to be loved, but it’s better to be respected.On the topic of respect, former New Hamp-

shire governor John Sununu has said that

President Obama needs to learn to be

American. You’ve referred to his policies

as “foreign.” Do you believe that President

Obama is un-American in any way?

MR: Governor Sununu was not sug-gesting he wasn’t American, nor do I. I believe he’s making us far more like Europe, with a larger, more domi-nant, more intrusive government. I believe if we keep going on that path, we will end up like Europe, with chronic high unemployment, no wage growth, and economic calamity at the doorstep. I think you have

to return to celebrating success, encouraging entrepreneurship, and fi nding ways to get government out of the way.Also from a reader, Nancy B., of Winter

Springs, Fla.: “I trust your acumen to

assemble a great turnaround team for

the economy. But who do you have in mind

for advice on foreign affairs?”

MR: I don’t have a secretary of state or national security adviser in mind at this point—it might be a little presumptuous. That being said, I speak with a number of the former secretaries of state and [other] leaders—Condoleezza Rice, Jim Baker, George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, John Bolton, as well as people less well known. My leadership style is to have people of differing viewpoints express them openly and [then I] select among them myself.Question from Texas resident Jean S.:

“Have you ever felt like a loser? What did

you do to overcome that feeling?”

MR: I defi ne myself by my relationship with God, my wife, and my family. And in those relationships, I’m not a loser. I don’t worry about what happens in politics and the opinions of others, or I’d lose my hair!And we all know you haven’t done that.

MR: Glue keeps it in place. [laughter]Let’s talk for a moment about your faith.

How has tithing [the Mormon practice of

giving 10 percent of one’s income to the

church] shaped your view of how we treat

each other?

AR: I love tithing. When Mitt and I give that check, I actually cry.MR: So do I, but for a different reason.AR: I know this money is an indication of how much we trust God and love the principle of sacrifice. And it teaches us not to be too, too tied to the things of the world. And it is a very good reminder of

how blessed we really are, and most of those blessings do not come from

a fi nancial source, but from the power above.M R : Our church doesn’t publish how much people have given. This is done entirely

privately.

1Make sure cubes

of meat are at

least an inch thick.

If they’re any smaller,

they can overcook

quickly.

2 Soak bamboo

skewers for 30

minutes or more

before using or they’ll

burn on the grill. To

save time, soak a big

package of skewers

all at once, drain, and

freeze. Then pull out

as many as you need.

3Coat your

skewers with

cooking spray

to prevent sticking.

4 Try spearing

meat and veggies

with two skewers

or with double-

pronged ones to keep

food in place and

cooking evenly.

Do you sing to your son?I make up new lyrics to well-known lullabies. Mostly because I don’t actually know a lot of the lyrics.

You recorded your new album shortly after giving birth. Was the whole experience a blur?

I’m still in that fuzzy zone—I’m not sure that baby brain ever really goes away! I wanted to write the record and be available for breast-feeding, so I built a makeshift studio in our house. Basically, whenever I had a break, I was with my son.

What inspired the album’s darker songs? There are many ways to get away from feeling things, and usually

Do you and he do date nights?Yes; we just put it in the calendar, and it’s mandatory.

We have an under-standing that when

we’re on our dates, we can’t talk about work. We

can talk a little about being parents, but we keep it mostly about us and being best friends.

What are your Sundays like? When I’m off the road, my husband and I recharge our batteries. It’s a day of deep rest and connection with the spiritual, and that can be any-thing—going for a walk in nature, being in silence, burning incense.

What personal item is a must-have on tour?

I need to have my blankie. [laughs] I’ve had one my whole life. The Barefoot Dreams bamboo blanket is the softest on the planet. If I lost it, I’d be like a 2-year-old screaming for her Binky.

Which song do you never get tired of performing?“You Oughta Know.” It’s a great vehicle to channel through any rage or pent-up energy from that day.

Is it frustrating that some people still think of you as “angry Alanis” because of that song?It’s a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We’re all such complex crea-tures. But if I’m going to be a poster child for anything, anger’s a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen.

they’re addictive. The song“Havoc” is about the recovery journey from those addictions and about falling off that recovery, and “Numb” is about the reasons behind my reaching for the drug of choice, whether it’s a substance or a person. I’m curious about the bravery [it takes] to heal and grow.

How does one balance rock stardom with motherhood?A village is needed. I think it’s irresponsible when celebrities imply they’re doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He’s really full-on. I couldn’t do it any other way.

Seventeen years on, Alanis Morissette continues to feel the effects of a cer-tain Jagged Little Pill. “I

have full PTSD that I’m still working on,” admits the rocker, 38, of the “wild” fame that came with that smash album. “I’ve done hours of therapy to process everything.” Her fi rst disc in four years, Havoc and

Bright Lights, refl ects that journey, along with the fulfi llment that has come with marriage to rapper Mario “Souleye” Treadway and the arrival of their son, Ever, who’s 20 months old. “He’s the apple of my heart’s eye,” she tells Shawna Malcom from Florence while on tour.

We play a card game in which

each player is dealt three cards.

In turn, each player plays one

card, then draws a new card.

With many players, more decks

are used, and they’re shuffl ed

together. The dispute is whether

the game is fair if the shuffl ed

decks are divided into two piles

so that players may draw from

the one closest to them instead

of reaching across the table.

Some people contend that all

players must draw from a single

pile. Others say that as long as

players may draw from either

stack, the game is fair. Who’s

right? —Pat Lock, St. Louis

Having two stacks (or three, for that matter) is fi ne. The game would be fair even if players could draw cards only from the pile closest to them. (This assumes no pile is allowed to run out of cards too soon, etc.)

Am I prescient, or what? I have a hunch that many readers aren’t going to believe me!

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

Why do we have this desire to

solve puzzles such as cross-

words, sudoku, and Numbrix?

—Paula Sutera, Santee, Calif.

We all love to get something right, and in a world where everything is argued, everyone thinks differently, and change is the only certainty, it reaffi rms your brainpower when you work your way through a puzzle to a resoundingly correct answer. Not everyone can do this, you know! Plus, after the mental exercise, you feel a little smarter. And who knows? Maybe you are.

Getting Older Doesn’t Have to Mean

Looking Older.

You don’t have to keep your wrinkles.

DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Liftdramatically lifts, tightens and fi rms the appearance of aged skin within 5 minutes and reduces the appearance of fi ne lines, wrinkles and sagging skin for a beautiful and more youthful complexion.

And now you can look years younger in just 90 seconds.

One of the fi rst places many people notice changes in their appearance is in the skin around the eyes. This is due to the fact that the skin in this area is extremely thin and delicate, making i t especially vulnerable to damage. DermaSilk 90 Second Eye Lift signifi cantly: tightens the loose skin around your delicate eye area; reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, smile creases and un-der eye puffi ness for a smoother, more youthful eye appearance.

Before 5 Minute Face Lift

After 5 Minute Face Lift

DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift is a completely new and exciting skin care product , con-sumer tested to render the appearance of a natural face lift quickly and effectively. DermaSilk Tightening Serum helps strengthen the skin layers, resulting in the appearance of a “Natural” face lift. From the moment you put it on you’ll feel your skin tightening and fi rm-ing. Small wrinkles will look diminished and your skin will feel refreshed. Facial skin will appear smoother, fi rmer and younger.

DermaSilk works so well because it targets the

primary cause of why mature facial skin loses elasticity.

After the age of 40, the levels ofcollagen and elastin in your skin begin to greatly decline. This is what leads to sagging, wrinkling and, unfortunately, looking older.

One of the downsides of releasing one’s fi nan-cial information is that this is now all public, but we had never intended our contributions to be known. It’s a very personal thing between ourselves and our commitment to our God and to our church. Tithing sounds like a form of “it takes a

village.” You’re helping the community.

MR: I think you’ll find that conservatives are more generous philanthropically than people who are not conservatives. People who are in favor of small government are very much in favor of personal action to help other people in need. Is that a form of socialism?

MR: From the very beginning, the willing-ness of neighbors to help raise the barn of a next-door neighbor was characteristic of America. But at the same time we take personal responsibility for our lives. Does government play a role? Absolutely. You know, I chuckle when I hear people say, “Oh, they don’t want any government.” Of course we want government! But it is government to encourage the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of its citizens, as opposed to direct the course of their living.Mrs. Romney, many, many readers asked

what would be your cause or causes should

you become fi rst lady.

AR: A lot of my life I’ve been working with at-risk youth. There are many lost children in this generation, and it’s just shameful. I hope to continue to help at-risk youth make choices that will make their lives better.What makes you nervous about your

husband on the campaign trail?

AR: The only time I interfere is when I feel like his schedule is way too strenuous. He’s only got so much he can give every day. So that’s when I really put my foot down, say-ing, “Dial it back, dial it back, dial it back.” And never in a debate, never when he’s

making a speech?

AR: Well, I am nervous in debates. I don’t like debates because—MR: —she knows she could do better. [laughs] She wants to get up onstage and give it to them.AR: Because there’s so many traps you can

fall in. But I enjoy his speeches. Even when I hear some of the same stories over and over again, I get emotional.Do you cry?

AR: I do. Do you, Governor?

MR: I’m emotional. I don’t show it quite as clearly as John Boehner, but I’m an emotional person. There is a, I don’t know, a societal norm that if you’re running for offi ce, you can’t be emotional, and perhaps I bow to that too often.Should you be elected, give me a picture of the

White House. What is the feel? PARADE asked

you once before if there’d be

horses at the White House, and

you said yes.

MR: Well, probably not at the White House itself, but nearby so she could go for her therapy. [Ann Romney was diagnosed with MS in 1998.]Give me your White House

vision.

MR: I’d like it to be open and have people feel welcome there. I don’t just mean tour-ing it, but also come to the East Room and see a perfor-mance of some kind.Like what?

MR: Well, I would certainly want to hear from the Beach Boys, even though I know it’s not the same group it used to be. Also Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith, and today’s rock stars—the Killers are one group I enjoy.AR: I love jazz, I love pop, I love rock, I love classical.MR: I’d let Alabama come back and sing again, and Aerosmith. Different eras.AR: We have a friend in the Eagles.MR: These are not all Republicans, by the way. Some may turn us down, but—AR: No, they would die to be mentioned.MR: I think the Obamas have done a nice job of welcoming various artists and having people come enjoy the White House. I also think, by the way, that having two children in the White House is a good thing. I hope,

if we are lucky enough to be there, our grandchildren could come on occasion. AR: They’d want to move in, Mitt!MR: I think having little feet in the hallway is wonderful. And after the convention, how do you see

the Republican Party?

AR: United.MR: We’re united now. You go and ask people who voted for John McCain: “Are you think-ing of voting for anyone other than Mitt Romney?” And you will have a very hard time fi nding someone who’s thinking of vot-ing in a different direction. … We go to the

convention with high hopes. There’s a lot of enthusiasm for new leadership.AR: It’s a recognition that Mitt and I represent millions and millions of people’s hopes. It’s women’s voices in my head right now.What do they say?

AR: One is, they’re praying for me, which is unbelievably touching. The second is, “Your husband has to save this coun-try.” And they say it with such passion and conviction. I feel what they’re yearning for and hoping for.

What is that?

AR: What I hear very frequently is, “My children are going to be worse off than I am.” And I think that it is the fi rst time in the history of America that one generation can say that. There is concern that a lot of their friends, a lot of their family are out of work; they may be out of work them-selves. They really feel like something’s gone. Mitt always says that we can do better. He’s giving them a thread of hope to say, “Join with us. We’re going to be okay.”Should the party change? There’s been a lot

of talk that it’s gotten a little far to the right.

MR: I can’t speak for something as big as 100-some-odd million people. The party is much bigger than any one person.But you’re going to be its leader.

MR: Hopefully a good one. [laughs]
