Oh, Tony!

Mine is: "This too shall pass." Helps with good days and bad.

What's a quote or line that actually stuck with you?

Hot take: YES. Stories are stories. Doesn't matter if it's ink on paper or a voice in your ear.

But some people act like audiobooks are "cheating."

What do you think?

Went to see a band in a tiny bar, and halfway through their set the power went out. They kept playing acoustic in the dark while the crowd used phone flashlights.

Weird, but kinda magical.

Ever had something unexpected happen at a show?

For me it's Random Access Memories by Daft Punk. Every track slaps.

What album can you play start to finish without touching the skip button?

I love the idea of cooking, but reality = three food apps on my phone.

When I do cook, it's pasta. Always pasta.

Are you a home chef or a delivery warrior?

Mountains feel like peace, but beaches feel like freedom. I can't decide.

If you had to choose one forever — no switching — would you pick mountain air or ocean breeze?

Arrival. Not just for the aliens, but how it played with time and language. Still think about it.

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. Read it on a long trip and it just... slowed me down in a good way.

"Take On Me" by A-ha... and it won't leave. I blame the radio at my gym.

Tea. Always tea. Black in the morning, green in the afternoon. Coffee makes me jittery, tea makes me human.
