Q&A with Taylor

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

I would have dinner with my favorite writers and theorists, most notably Joan Dideon, Audre Lorde, and Judith Butler.

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a doctor in outer-space! It would have never worked out, as I am very squeamish and fear the cosmos.

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

Most likely an independent comedy, probably played by a young Diane Keaton.
