A negroni, or in a dive bar, a bourbon, neat.

6. What's the wallpaper on your phone and/or computer?

On my phone are pictures of the bottles for my new cocktail line, Courage + Stone. I helped design the entire look of the brand. They're pretty dope. Are people still using that word?

7. What was the last awkward situation you were in and how did you handle it?

I'm in awkward situations every day. My go-to response is to apologize, even when it's not my fault. Easier that way. I can take the heat.

8. What is your TV guilty pleasure?

The Vice series on HBO, but I don't think that qualifies as a guilty pleasure. I have so little time for TV that I can't watch anything that makes me feel guilty.

9. What's the first CD you bought?

It was an album on vinyl, and it was Metallica's Kill 'Em All.

10. And what music are you currently listening to?

Mostly Silversun Pickups, as they scored my movie and they are amazing. On study breaks, Willow Smith, Daughter, Clutch, the Roots, Fink, Kendrick Lamar, and Beyoncé's Lemonade on constant repeat.

11. What is the one food you cannot resist?

French fries are crack to me. Do not order them around me. You will lose them.

I really liked Horrible Bosses 2. Feel how you will about it.

13. What toppings do you like on your pizza?

Mushrooms and sausage. And gold.

14. What drives you absolutely crazy?

When people don't thank you when you hold the door for them in a public place. Like, I don't freaking work here, buddy.

15. What was your first online screen name?

Aisha Tyler. There aren't a lot of those out there. Seemed a fit.

16. What's the last thing you copied & pasted on your phone?

Editing notes for my movie. I know. I'm immersed in this thing.

Superhero robot kittens all the way.
