Jonathan Ames is a writer from New York, responsible for countless books, some of which have been turned into TV shows like HBO's Bored To Death or the film You Were Never Really Here with Joaquin Phoenix. He's lived quite a life and spoke with us from his home in Los Angeles about The Golden Globes, Kylie Jenner's slice of humble pie, Bradley Cooper's Cheesesteak Factory, summering in Malibu, he recently joined Equinox to swim, how he pronounces the word "Hyperion," his brain can read words backward and he does it throughout the episode, stealing Napkins in Beachwood Canyon, his relationship with tinned fish, his Buddhist-leaning lifestyle, blowing weed smoke into a tequila shot glass and chugging them both, the Russian baths, his celebrity boxing career, he lost too much weight going vegan, working with Greenpeace in Alaska, he was discovered at twenty by photographer Bruce Weber as a collegiate fencer, and he teaches us the three steps to releasing anger.
