Check out our exclusive below.
GlobalGrind: Who are your five favorite musicians of all time?
Right now I’m absolutely loving Bruno Mars, LMFAO and Jane’s Addiction. They just put out a new album that I’m super psyched about. I just downloaded it today but I have not had the chance to listen to it. J. Cole is also cool. Tom Wakes, he’s my all time favorite and he also just came out with a new album as well.
Who are some of your celebrity crushes?
Those are hard. Jason Mamoa is the most newest crush of mine, but he’s married to Lisa Bonet so I’ll just have to look at him from a far. I used to have the biggest crush on The Rock, still do I guess.
You said used to, what happened?
No it didn’t go away. Who else? Michael Sheen, love him! I think that’s all I can think of right now.
Nick Cannon has said that he kept telling people at interviews that Mariah Carey was his celebrity crush and then he ended up marrying her.
How cute is that?
If you say these names enough you might end up as Mrs. Rock.
He is single too isn’t he? I may have to look into that more.
You should just say it everyday. “My celebrity crush is the Rock.”
And then he maybe he’ll call me?
Maybe. If you interview him!
Well, I have interviewed him and I love him he’s great.
What are some of your favorite spots to eat in New York City?
I go to La Esquina all the time, it’s Cuban food, they have seafood and chicken and they have the most amazing corn on the cob that they load up with lemon juice and cheese. Oh my God, is to die for, it makes my mouth water!
Indochine also, it’s a classic it’s been around forever and I love going there, I love their food so much! In fact they catered at an event I was at the other night, Diddy was hosting the Culo Party and Indochine was catering, I was so happy because I hadn’t had the chance to get there.
Toloache, there’s a place right in Times Square right near my office and I guess its Cuban food as well. Cubanish, tapas style kind of excellent Mexican flare.
I love Thai food but I couldn’t even tell you where I go. I usually just walk up and down 9th and Hells Kitchen because there’s 50 different places.
You know where else I go, it’s funny, my taste in food has varied a bit but El Quixote, it’s a restaurant at the bottom of the Chelsea Hotel. I go there all the time; they have the most amazing vegetable paella. It’s so good.
You sound like you’re a foodie!
I love food, I love it so much I dream about it.
