"This song is about a minute long. It’s super-fast and it’s aggro from start to finish. Every time I hear it it’s like one of those old super-fast punk jams that are just undeniable – it’s like, get in the pit and start swinging, leap off the stage or whatever floats your boat. Bad Brains are another one of my favourite bands.”"

"Right now, at the moment, I would say Inglourious Basterds. Come on, how can you go wrong? “Killin’ Nazis” to the sound of good music? There’s nothing wrong with that. You know, it’s got a great bad guy in the movie, I love Quentin Tarantino, and it’s “killin’ Nazis.” It’s the best thing you can do in a movie. So I love that."

"I loved this. I loved the app it came out on (technically 2017). I loved watching it on Apple TV. I loved the cast. I loved the composition. I loved the script. I loved that it was kind of bad but also really good. I love that Soderbergh does these casually insane experiments decades ahead of everyone. He is truly a mad scientist."

"The Exorcist, because it frightened the s— out of me. I remember going to see it in London – I went with a friend – and I said, “Well, that wasn’t too bad after all, was it?” And we both said, “Well, I don’t want to go home quite yet.” So we went out for a meal. That is an incredible movie."

"More than a biography, Ellmann’s telling of the familiar tale of the Irish playwright’s spectacular rise and tragic downfall holds up a mirror to society’s hypocrisy about almost everything but especially sex. Wilde was the original victim of “Don’t ask, Don’t tell.” He was London’s pet Bad Boy until it turned out he was a man with a dick as well."

"Mary Miller is one of my favorite short story writers and in Big World, she writes about flawed, boozy women who make bad decisions and live to tell their tales. The writing in this little collection is atmospheric and claustrophobic and illuminating and lovely. In each story, Miller shows us how the world is as big as it is small."
