I love expensive coffee houses, because it just tastes better when you have a flower design on your latte! lol

I am a film buff and met Pedro Almodovar in LA a few years ago. If you haven't seen his films, then put it on the to-do list.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe in militancy when it comes to ideas with a capital 'I'. However, I am strongly influenced by Spinoza, Bertrand Russell, Chomsky, Plato and Keynes... but "I will never die for my beliefs, because I could be wrong"...

I am not a member of any religious group and found that this leads one to really contemplate what one should do in life and how to live it. I use to be a vegan for moral reasons, and I think that friendship is the most important element to happiness; also, nothing beats people laughing at your jokes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once interrogated in Iran under suspicion of being an American Spy. They let me go after 18 hours of intense inquisition and semi-torture... Well, survived it.
