New York magazine asked Daniel about the jeans, workout shoes, and protein bars he can’t live without for The Strategist.
Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong, by Angela Saini - Amazon link
I always have to have actual books — not out of any sense of snobbery
over an e-reader, but it’s just that I need a piece of paper in front of
me. I noticed that learning lines off a computer takes so much longer
for me. So when I travel, it always looks like I’m smuggling books.
Right now, I’m reading this fantastic work of nonfiction about how
gender biases have affected how science has treated women. I’d highly
recommend it.
Speed Stacks Sport Stacking Set - Amazon link
This is a lifesaver. I actually can’t live without these. Have you ever
seen the documentary abut the kids who do speed stacking, Stacked? It’s basically like Spellbound only
with stacking cups. I watch practically every documentary I can on
iTunes. So I saw the film and became really into the idea of stacking
cups, because it’s apparently a skill that you’re the best at between
the ages of 8 and 14. I loved it so much my friend actually got me a set
and now I’ll practice all the time.
Quest Nutrition Protein Bar, Cookies & Cream - Amazon link
This will sound weird, but I can’t live without Quest bars. When I was doing Jungle,
I sort of felt like the character had been lost for a while and not
eating a lot and so it felt wrong for me to be eating too much, so the
Quest bars were one of the things I allowed myself. I was having a filet
of fish and one of those bars a day. Some people are like, “Protein
bars taste weird,” and I get that, but I’ve been eating them so long
they’re actually good to me. I like the cookies-and-cream and the chocolate ones.
What you do is put them in the microwave for 20 seconds and crush
almonds or pecans on them, and then they’re a delicious treat. Or you
can cut them into mini squares and stick them in the oven.
AEO Extreme Flex Skinny Jean - Amazon link
Jeans
are particularly hard to find for me, so most of the good jeans I’ve
had have actually come off of sets I’ve been on. I’m five-foot-five and
have been for a very long time, so it means I have accumulated a lot of
jeans. Right now all I wear is a pair of American Eagles that I got off
the set of Imperium.
Asics Men’s Gel-Kayano 23 Running Shoe - Amazon link
I’m obsessive about working out in the morning. I never thought I’d say
that, but I actually enjoy the gym, if not at the time I’m there, then
at least after I’ve done it. I think this pair of trainers is for running, but I wear them for everything.
Durham’s Bee Propolis 500 mg 120 Capsules - Amazon link
Everyone is always complaining about plane travel doing
something bad to them, and I travel so much I feel like I need all the
help I can get. I was in a play earlier this year, and everyone in the
play was taking it. It seems to be working? It definitely did stave off
any feelings of a cold I had during the run of the play. Is it actually
bee shit? That’s what I need to know.
