What’s the best sandwich?

I don’t think of it so much as a sandwich, but I think the answer is the perfect burger. I get more excited about that than I can think of any other sandwich, although there’s some candidates in there for sure. But a truly great burger. That’s a thing. I love a blue cheese and bacon burger, but I think the right answer here is more classic. A cheeseburger, of course.

What is the scariest animal?

Cats are terrifying. We invite these predators into our homes like they’re cute, but then they have these whole secret lives and bring back their trophy kills to put on display. They’re abject killing machines. Complete sociopaths. I totally believe the urban legends about cats eating their owner’s faces after they die. It’s strange that we think it’s okay to cohabitate with them.

Apples or oranges?

I never get sick of apples. Crisp. Juicy. Sliced up, or in a pinch just chomp right in.

What do you think happens when we die?

I don’t actually really know how we’re alive. I’m this sack of meat and electricity, together in a way that has a sense of consciousness. It’s crazy biological magic. When we die, I believe that magic ends, for sure. Whatever it is, this combination that has led to my sense of “me” is done.

What’s your favorite action movie?

I’m very particular stuck on the definition. A movie with action may not be an “action movie.” Yes they must have impressive set-pieces and physical stunts of some kind (martial arts, driving sequences, etc.). But also… not too much else, otherwise it’s something else entirely. It needs to commit to the bit. One pick is Mad Max: Fury Road.
