Q & A: Kimberly Locke
Kimberley answers the questions you asked about AI, her marathon training and her biggest life lesson.

How has your life changed since American Idol?
This is such a loaded question! American Idol opened so many doors for me a lot sooner than I ever expected. You name it and I have experienced it since Idol. From travel, to networking, owning my own business, and I believe the best is yet to come!
Are you still planning on running a marathon?
Yes! I am training right now for my Marathon. I will be running in October! Wish me luck! It's definitely a challenge.
Are there plans to release any more singles from Based On True Story?
YES! I'm hoping the next single will be "I Don't Wanna Know".
Being a restaurant owner of Croton Creek Steakhouse, have you thought of doing any correspondent work for the Food Network, or thought about going on some of their shows like Paula's Party, Rachel Ray, or Martha Stewart Shows?
Actually yes we have spoken with all of these shows on different occasions. Martha actually mentioned our restaurant on her show. You know she lives in the area. I just recently spoke to someone about being on Paula's Party. I JUST LOVE HER!
You were once headed to law school. Do you have any good study skills or tips that you use that have helped you remember and retain information?
Taking good notes was always a good study skill for me. I would even re-write my notes on index cards. There is something about the repetition, it really gets into your brain.
What has been your biggest life lesson from this entire experience, such as making it so far in American Idol, and just other great successes you've experienced?
My biggest life lesson has been having a good attitude and being easy to work with. I have met many people working on different shows not mention crossing paths with so many of the people who worked on Idol. They remember you for your attitude and it can make or break you.
I've also learned that as much as I love to work, it is so important for me to remember to take some time for myself and enjoy life and friends. Not to mention its important to always give back.
