RAPID FIRE

Coffee or Tea… LAVAZZA made in a Copper Turkish coffee pot with coconut sugar and half ’n half.

Never without… My sense of humor.

BLANK is the new BLANK... Love is the new Hate.

Color you couldn’t live without… Yves Klein Blue

Fave movie of all time… Doctor Zhivago (obviously)

Actor muse… Toni Servillo

Favorite museum… Van Gogh Museum

Last trip you were on… Italy - Venice Film Festival 2019

Last book you read… Where Late The Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm

Favorite restaurant… I prefer my own home-cooked slop. But, if you had to drag me out then I’ll settle for the skate fish at Le Singe Vert. (You can’t eat design so I’ll settle for food. Although good design can make your escargot smack his mama.)

Favorite hotel… The London Hotel (West Hollywood)

 

FINISH THESE SENTENCES:

Design is…crucial.

Art will always…explore the mystery of human existence.

Film is...good with 3 slices of pizza

If you were a color it would be… Electric Blue (like Eddie Grant)

If you were a texture it would be… Sweatpants

I’m a firm believer in… lose 5lbs and get a tan

I’m deeply grateful for… French fries

The world needs more… people like my mom
