Best gift ever received from one another?
Henry: For Rel’s 30th I gave him a vintage Powell Peralta skateboard with an airbrushed portrait of Rel standing beneath the Paramount logo brandishing two pistols. It was done by the guy who paints the cars in Fast and Furious
Rel: Last year I commissioned our friend Elsa Hansen to make a needlepoint portrait of Henry hanging out with Townes Van Zandt and Kate Moss.
Any hidden talents?
Henry: If there’s one thing I’m unambiguously good at, it’s using a slingshot.
Rel: I do a great George W. Bush impersonation and a mean Michael Jackson dance impression.

Rel: secretly find her childhood memories on eBay and surprise her with them.
When a girl wants to impress me she:
Rel: Comes over without calling.
