1. What is your drug of choice?
Christopher Walken.
2. What’s your backstory?
I’m originally from a pea-sized town in upstate New York called Coxsackie, which has a population of about 2,000 and is not pronounced the way you think it is. I moved to New York after college and worked in PR for a few years before deciding that my time would be better spent at home, writing freelance articles in my underwear. Not that I am doing that right now, or anything.
3. Everyone has a “thing.” What’s yours?
Boots. I’m perpetually shopping for them, even though I already own 20 pairs.
4. Everyone also has a karaoke song. Name yours (and don’t be shy).
Killing Me Softly: the Fugees version, not the Roberta Flack one.
5. Who are your biggest influences?
Dorothy Parker, Samuel L. Jackson, and my parents.
6. What is it you most dislike?
Bad smells in enclosed spaces. (Airplane farters, I’m looking at you.)
7. Whose job would you like to steal?
Dick Cheney’s, just because I like the idea of taking something away from him.
8. What was your best date?
Autumn, afternoon beers, and a stroll through Washington Square Park. We sat on a bench and watched people walking their dogs. And then we got married. It was pretty great.
9. What was your worst?
Four words: 26. Year. Old. Virgin.
10. When I wake up in the middle of the night its because I’ve had a nightmare that I’m ___ .
Pregnant.
11. I feel my best when I’m wearing ___ .
Vintage pretty things with swing skirts and nipped-in waists.
12. Please settle the debate: New York or LA?
Only a person from LA would ask a question this ridiculous. I’M ONTO YOU.
13. What’s on your playlist at this very moment?
Rilo Kiley, David Bowie, and the best of Django Reinhardt.
14. What are you watching on TV?
LOST, Fringe, and endless Law & Order reruns on TNT.
15. If you alone held the power to pick the Oscar for Best Picture, would you give it to Avatar or The Hurt Locker?
The Hurt Locker. I mean, I like a trite object-lesson about colonialism featuring a pair of muscular cat-smurfs having sex under a tree made out of fiber-optic dreadlocks as much as the next guy, but REALLY.
16. Given the chance, would you rather hang out with George Clooney or Robert Downey Jr.?
Is one of them naked? Then yes. That one.
17. If you were a character on any movie or TV show, past or present, who would you be?
Lily von Schtupp from Blazing Saddles.
18. What’s the last thing you think about before falling asleep at night?
“If I dream about making out with Skeet Ulrich again, so help me…”
