Music
Everything. Except Polka. Alright, if it's really banging Polka, bring it on!!!
Movies
Anything by Kubrick (except "Eyes Wide Shit Shut"), Scorsese, Coppola (especially Godfathers I & II), Tarantino, Hitchcock, Ingmar Bergman, Michael Mann (except for that extraordinary piece of garbage that broke my heart, "Miami Vice"), Ridley Scott ("American Gangster" is the shizz), Woody Allen's body of work from the seventies to the mid-eighties (and his amazing recent film, "Match Point"), Spike Lee's joints (love me some Spike), Spielberg, John Singleton, Carl Franklin, George Lucas, Forest Whitaker (behind the lens and in front), Lee Daniels, anything with Will Smith, Denzel (did I mention how much I love "American Gangster"?), Christian Bale, anything written by Charlie Kaufman, old black-and-white flicks with Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, Lena Horne, Joan Fontaine, John Garfield, Cary Grant, Sammy Davis, Jr., Vivien Leigh, Edward G. Robinson, anything noir (love film noir)...I don't know. I watch A LOT of movies. I am a film buff in the best and worst way. I couldn't even begin to cover the ground of what I like and do it sufficient justice. I am the same way about film and television as I am about books and music---passionate and voracious.
Television
Hmmm. Okay, let me see. The Wire, The Boondocks, Nip/Tuck, BET's American Gangster series (love, love, love it), The Sopranos (yeah, I know the series ended, but syndication is FOREVER), Oprah (I'm a girl, I can't help it, it's one of those moth/flame kind of things), David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, The Daily Show, Mad Men, Burn Notice, MadTV, Jimmy Kimmel, Rome, lots and lots of cable news programming, The Food Network (yeah...the whole damn network), American Idol (I know, I know), 24, Tell Me You Love Me, Prison Break, whatever's playing on Turner Classic Movies, SNL (when it doesn't suck, which is becoming rarer by the moment), Big Love, The 4400, House, and assorted other mind rot. Too much to mention. Don't make me do this.
Books
A Man In Full (Tom Wolfe), Crime and Punishment (Fyodor Dostoyevsky), Song of Solomon (Toni Morrison), Madame Bovary (Gustave Flaubert), Sister Carrie (Theodore Dreiser), Drop (Mat Johnson), Their Eyes Were Watching God (Zora Neale Hurston), any of the works of Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Shakespeare...uhhhhhh, a buncha stuff. I'm an author. I've been influenced and impacted by generations of writers, as well as decades of film, television, and music. It all fuses together in my work. I'm a pop culture baby with strong literary influences.
Heroes
Shakespeare, Toni Morrison, Dr. Joseph Marshall Jr., Mary Pittman-Jones, Renee Stone, Debby Ryan.
