What song do you wish you had written?
“Be My Baby.” This is my 50th answer in five minutes. How can such a short question be so difficult?
Who would be in your dream songwriter round?
Will Oldham, Dolly Parton, John Prine
If you could only listen to one artist’s discography for the rest of your life, whose would you choose?
Dylan — pretty much got all bases covered for life there!
How often do you do laundry?
Constantly. I have small and rather grubby children, and sometimes I feel like Loretta Lynn in the bad ol’ days of “Hey Loretta.”
What was the last movie that you really loved?
Youth by Paulo Sorrentino. It had a really surreal, reflective Fellini-esque feel.
If you could re-live one year of your life, which would it be and why?
Maybe 14. Every crazy teenage story I have seems to be from when I was 14. I’d like to take notes this time and see how much is true.
What’s your go-to comfort food?
Spaghetti marinara. Or pizza. I think I must have Italian heritage somewhere.
Kombucha — love it or hate it?
I’m suspicious, but occasionally curious/hopeful.
Mustard or mayo?
Chipotle mayo!
