"I started listening to Nirvana when I was a kid, mostly because my older brother listened to them. We loved that band. We had all their albums and listened to them every day. I got the seven-inch from a friend in New York recently. She used to work for their label and I was looking through her record collection and came across it and lost my mind. She was like, “You can have it – I've got two copies”."

"Though Persona had the most influence on me, these two movies introduced me to the idea of exploring the shocking theme of incest. I remember being mystified at the revelations of brother/sister and sister/sister liaisons, and also feeling like I was being plunged into terrain where there were no boundaries. There was something intoxicating about this, and only the intimacy of Bergman’s camera and his phenomenal relationship to his actors made this disturbing alchemy work."

"I enjoy sci-fi thanks to my brother John's passion for it, and this was the first sci-fi book to hit my radar. It touches on so many things: politics, religion, paganism, revivalism, psychokinesis – and it even introduced a couple of things that didn't exist before: the waterbed (which came out a few years after the book), and the word "grok" which means "to understand something intuitively or by empathy.” There's a lot to grok in this book."

"It’s another game changer for me. I saw it when I was 12, I think. 11 or 12. I just remember saying to my brother, “I didn’t know movies could make me feel like this.” So it transported me. I believed in it. It was fun, it was funny, I was on the edge of my seat — everything about it. I remember saying that to him: “I didn’t know movies could make me feel like this.”"
