Favorite book: “At the moment the book that I am wrapped up in is ‘A Violent Life’ by Pier Paolo Pasolini. I highly recommend picking it up, because it’s off to the races from the very first page. One of the things that had a huge effect on me was an early short story by Dylan Thomas called ‘The Dress.’ Anyone who is into frightening and passionately charged storytelling should check that one out, too.”

Favorite movie: “Certainly ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ is up there. You had these two incredibly compelling characters who ran across each other and the dynamic that they brought out of each other and the fact that they were naively willing to go to such extremes. That movie goes so deep and it does it so seductively. So much of what they do is horrible, and yet you’re falling in love with them.”

Favorite recording: “I want to recommend one that a friend of mine just released. The band is called Electric Flower, which is the title of the record, too. My friend Josh Garza is the drummer, and I’ve been listening to that pretty much nonstop. The guitarist is Imaad Wasif. It’s a 10-inch EP with three songs on it, and I think it’s going to lead to something bigger.”
