More Excerpts from the Palins' Interview With PEOPLE

Tina Fey got you locked up. Who would play Todd?

Sarah: Tim McGraw. That's what they say back home anyway.

...

Tina Fey plays you sort of bubble-headed...

Sarah: "That's funny. I play her bubble-headed too when I imitate her.

...but you don't get to be governor without being smart. Do you think you're intellectual?

Sarah: Yehhh-sss. And you have to be up on not only current events, but you have to understand the foundation of the issues that you're working on...You can't just go on what is presented you.

How do you get that knowledge?


Sarah:
I'm a voracious reader, always have been. I appreciate a lot of information. I think that comes from growing up in a family of school teachers.

What do you like to read?

Sarah: Autobiographies, historical pieces -- really anything and everything. Besides the kids and sports, reading is my favorite thing to do.
