Interesting fact about yourself that people wouldn’t expect?
My twin sister and I were adopted

First album or single you ever owned, how old were you and what was the appeal?
Abbey Road. I was way too young to buy it and own it but most of the albums in our house were communal. Some of my earliest memories are driving around downtown with my father singing Beatles songs together. Two of the big hits for me I would constantly request were “the octopus song” and “the hammer song.” Well played, father. I could think of much worse children’s songs/albums to have to endure. The Beatles are still constantly in my rotation and will forever remain my favorite.

Favorite place in the world and why?
Puerto Vallarta. Love.

Favorite book–now and when you were a kid?
When we were really young and our parents would read to us it was a Cajun Night Before Christmas. Once I started elementary I became immersed in the Redwall books by Brian Jacques.
Now it’s Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. For me it is, without a doubt, the most beautiful story told in the most beautiful way. A few other important ones would be Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, The Terror by Dan Simmons and House Of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.

Who would you invite dead or alive to your fantasy dinner party?
Murder mystery dinner party with Nicholas Cage, Glenn Howerton, Gary Busey, and Rich Fulcher. Any one of them could easily be the culprit.
