1. What turns you on, creatively or otherwise? Seth Rudetsky: Seeing books in a bookstore gets me excited. Looking at all those different, colorful and creative covers makes me feel like writing. I guess it’s a version of judging a book by it’s cover — aka I’m shallow.

6. What extravagant purchase should probably make you feel guiltier? SR: Ordering $30 dinners almost every night from Empire Szechuan.

7. When’s the last time you wanted to slap someone? SR: Wisconsin recall election. How could anyone who has any empathy in their body vote for Scott Walker?

8. What most likely made that stain on your outfit? SR: Acting out with food.

9. Describe your favorite undergarment. SR: Boxer briefs. So comfy!

10. What’s a lie you’ve told more than once? SR: I don’t really watch TV.

BONUS: Where do you see yourself in five minutes? SR: Looking at Facebook and telling myself I should be writing.
