If Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and Mohammed were in a band together, who would play what? 
Hard to say, but I'd like to think their harmony would be unmatched … musically and otherwise. 

What literary character or story do you most relate to?
One part Tom Joad, one part Sal Paradise, one part Leeland Stamper … the great American cocktail. 

If you were a candle, what scent would you be?
My buddy Brendan's company, Harney + Co., makes these great scented Mandles, among other things. My favorite is "Tobacco + Cedar." Who wouldn't want to smell like that?

What's your favorite planet — and why?
I've only spent time on Earth so far, but if Bowie ever wants to take me on a journey elsewhere, I'm ready. 

What's your best physical attribute?
My height. Always a great view at concerts, with apologies to the folks behind me. 

Who is your favorite Jennifer: Lawrence, Aniston, or Love-Hewitt?
Lewis, singing me "Acid Tongue" lullabies.

Rain or shine? 
Shine. 
Mild, medium, or spicy?
Spicy
