Windspeaker: What one quality do you most value in a friend?
Lara Mussell: I guess honesty. I value honesty the most, because if you can't get honesty from a friend, where else are you going to get it from, you know? If you have a friend who's fake, then they're not really a friend. I guess honesty, I would value the most.
