What was a life-altering experience?

When I realized the ‘D’ in the Disney logo was in fact a ‘D’ and not a backwards ‘G’—that was pretty huge. Also, graduating from college.

What are your favorite things?

Giraffes. The last bite of an ice cream cone (regular, not sugar) when the little crosshatched part has gotten nice and mushy. Watching/quoting "Arrested Development." Naps. Hugs so good people pick me up a little. Word blends and puns. Indie music. Darkroom photography.

Advice from your mom, you wished you’d taken.

None—I take all motherly advice. She’s the smartest woman in the world. I love you, Mama. P.S. I need money.
