Best date spot in NYC: "Well, on my couch watching an episode of Real Housewives of New York is ideal, but I'm a creature of habit, and if you take me someplace I've never been before, and pay, I'm down with that."

Biggest turn off/on: "Turn-on: Confident, fucked up sense of humor, independent; Turn off: Live with your mother, works in the fashion industry."

Thing you want people to know about you on first date: "Don't look at me eat. I'm a shame-eater. Tell me to stop after glass of wine number two — it's best for us both."

Thing you want to know about someone if you're interested in them: "Exactly how much longer they're on parole. If they'll bum me a smoke. What they lied about on their OKCupid profile."

Best date movie of all time: "Something utterly and totally obscure and pretentious, like Dogville, because I'm stuck up. Anything with Meryl Streep in it (except Sophie's Choice. Boner-killer). A movie with subtitles so I know they can read."
