Good To Know
In our interview, Klosterman shared some fun and fascinating facts about himself:
"I think I love onion rings, but I actually don't. Very often, I will purchase onion rings and throw them in the oven, and I'll be very excited about the premise of consuming them. However, when I finally start to eat supper, I realize they're only okay. Somehow, this situation has happened to me at least five times in my lifetime: For some reason, I keep unconsciously convincing myself that onion rings are delicious."
"The original title for Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs was American Minotaur, but everybody turned against me."
