What's your favorite film?
I’m very partial to Richard Linklater movies: “Dazed and Confused” for the laughs and the music; “Boyhood” for its beautiful narration of a child growing up; and, “Before Sunrise” for the way it records an extended conversation between two people in my favorite city in the world: Vienna.

What do you love about Austin?
I love how deeply this city tries to live in ways that care for the earth and its people. The city is far from perfect; we have much to learn about class and race disparity. But, the city has furthered initiatives for the good of the planet, and that heartens me.
