PARADE

BEING HOT NEVER HURTS!”

P Quinn Cummings, circa 1978

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 deﬁnition aren’t terribly interesting!” Cummings says.

WALTER SCOTT ASKS …

Q: Where is the show

Shia LaBeouf

—Grove, Houston

The 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

P Bob Harper trains a contestant on The Biggest Loser.

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,”

ve 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 nd The Skinny Rules and check out his blog r r. at Parade.com/harper.

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!

Grimm ﬁlmed?

A: Portland, Oregon, is

the shooting location for this drama’s unique blend of police procedural and storybook spookiness (currently airing Mondays on NBC, 10 p.m.

ET). “You’re in an urban setting, but in 10 minutes you’re somewhere that’s like the Black Forest,” executive producer Norberto Barba says. “It has a fairytale 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.

Be ready

before flu season hits. Immunizations for most stages of life, now available for ages 3 and up.

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.

Immunizations Offered: $ % " (Whooping cough) (Tdap/Td) !

A CONVERSATION WITH

As the Republican convention gets under way, the candidate and his wife answer reader questions and reflect on the campaign, the controversies, and the challenges ahead COVER AND OPENING PHOTO GRAPHS BY BEN BAKER

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 typical New England lobster-and-corn supper. Nearby, 2-year-old Johnny in a high chair, occasionally cooing at his adoring grandmother. Coming before the announcement of his vice presidential pick and his awkward 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.

ANN ROMNEY:

PARADE: Governor, your campaign speeches

Why do you think that in a recent poll, you lost out to the president in [voter] enthusiasm?

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 characterized by ﬁnancial 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?”

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 waiting for them.

MR:

There were a number of questions about your financial wealth. New Jersey resident 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 investment 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?

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

MR:

Interesting—it didn’t hurt at

all this time.

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 conﬁdence that I’m the person who can get this country working again for the middle class. It’s nice

MR:

OUR LIFE WAS NOT

FINANCIAL CHARACTERIZED BY

STRESS AS MUCH AS

IT WAS BY HEALTH ISSUES.

to return to celebrating success, encouraging entrepreneurship, and ﬁnding 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

deﬁne 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:

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

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 MR: Governor Sununu was not sugprinciple of sacrifice. And it teaches us gesting he wasn’t American, nor do I. not to be too, too tied to the things of the I believe he’s making us far more like world. And it is a very good reminder of Europe, with a larger, more domihow blessed we really are, and most of nant, more intrusive government. those blessings do not come from I believe if we keep going on a ﬁnancial source, but from the EDITORS’ NOTE As part of PARADE’s that path, we will end up like power above. 2012 election coverage, M R : O ur church doesn’t Europe, with chronic high the magazine will unemployment, no wage feature President Obama publish how much people have and the first lady in an given.

SKEWER LIKE A PRO WITH THESE TIPS

Yogurt-Honey

Whisk 1∕2 cup plain yogurt, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1∕2 tsp salt. Marinate pork, beef, or chicken for 30 minutes before grilling.

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.

Don’t crowd the skewers. Your kebabs will cook more thoroughly if you leave a little space between chunks and between skewers on the grill.

Grill meat and vegetable kebabs over direct medium-high heat, turning once.

MIX & MATCH

Not sure what foods go best together? Try these summery combos.

Crazy For Kebabs!

Summer’s winding down, but there’s still plenty of time left to fire up the grill. Colorful, versatile kebabs are fun to make, cook quickly, and are a perfect way to use lean cuts of meat. (A quick dip in a marinade ensures tender, juicy results.) Got a favorite kebab recipe of your own? Share it at dashrecipes.com. Then watch Dash chef Jon Ashton demonstrate how to turn corn on the cob into corn on the kebab at dashrecipes.com/kebabs.

Try spearing meat and veggies with two skewers or with doublepronged ones to keep food in place and cooking evenly.

Combine 1∕4 cup olive oil, 11∕2 tsp grated lemon zest, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp chopped fresh oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1∕2 tsp pepper. Marinate chicken or seafood for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling. Combine 1∕2 cup canola oil, 1∕3 cup soy sauce, 1∕3 cup brown sugar, ¼ cup rice wine, 11∕2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 tsp minced garlic. Marinate beef or pork for 30 to 60 minutes before grilling.

Make sure cubes of meat are at least an inch thick. If they’re any smaller, they can overcook quickly.

eventeen years on, Alanis Morissette continues to feel the effects of a certain 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 first disc in four years, Havoc and Bright Lights, reflects that journey, along with the fulfillment 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.

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 anything—going for a walk in nature, being in silence, burning incense.

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 Scan this code to hear a song from Alanis’s new album, Havoc and Bright Lights.

Alanis Morissette The Grammy winner on baby brain, her blankie, and why anger’s a good thing

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.

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 creatures. 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.

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.

Why do we have this desire to solve puzzles such as crosswords, sudoku, and Numbrix? —Paula Sutera, Santee, Calif.

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

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 shufﬂed together. The dispute is whether the game is fair if the shufﬂed 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

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 reafﬁrms 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. ®

Numbrix

Complete 1 to 81 so the numbers follow a horizontal or vertical path—no diagonals.

Having two stacks (or three, for that matter) is ﬁne. 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!

Getting Older Doesn’t Have to Mean Looking Older. The 5 Minute Face Lift tightens and nourishes your skin, smoothing out wrinkles and turning back the clock. DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift is a completely new and exciting skin care product, consumer 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 ﬁrming. Small wrinkles will look diminished and your skin will feel refreshed. Facial skin will appear smoother, ﬁrmer 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 of collagen and elastin in your skin begin to greatly decline. This is what leads to sagging, wrinkling and, unfortunately, looking older.

You don’t have to keep your wrinkles. DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift dramatically lifts, tightens and firms the appearance of aged skin within 5 minutes and reduces the appearance of fine 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 first 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 it especially vulnerable to damage. DermaSilk 90 Second Eye Lift significantly: tightens the loose skin around your delicate eye area; reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, smile creases and under eye puffiness for a smoother, more youthful eye appearance.

The Romneys | from page 8

One of the downsides of releasing one’s ﬁnancial 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.

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

Tithing sounds like a form of “it takes a village.” You’re helping the community.

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 ofﬁce, you can’t be emotional, and perhaps I bow to that too often.

Is that a form of socialism?

From the very beginning, the willingness 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.

MR:

Mrs. Romney, many, many readers asked what would be your cause or causes should you become ﬁrst 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, saying, “Dial it back, dial it back, dial it back.”

And never in a debate, never when he’s making a speech?

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 AR:

AR:

I do.

Do you, Governor? MR:

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.]

And after the convention, how do you see the Republican Party?

United. We’re united now. You go and ask people who voted for John McCain: “Are you thinking of voting for anyone other than Mitt Romney?” And you will have a very hard time ﬁnding someone who’s thinking of voting 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.

AR:

MR:

Give me your White House vision.

I’d like it to be open and have people feel welcome there. I don’t just mean touring it, but also come to the East Room and see a performance of some kind. MR:

What do they say?

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

AR:

Read PARADE’s previous cover story about the governor and hear what his friends say about him at Parade.com/romney

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,

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 ﬁrst 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 themselves. 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.

I can’t speak for something as big as 100-some-odd million people. The party is much bigger than any one person.

MR:

But you’re going to be its leader. MR:

Hopefully a good one. [laughs]

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.

MR:

Do you cry?

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.
