Lili Anolik is the contributing editor at Vanity Fair, writer of the Babitz biography Hollywood’s Eve, and host of the podcast Once Upon a Time… at Bennington College. We chat with her from her home in New York City about Tom Brady’s retirement, prioritizing busy work, Chris’ hard drive being full, Kanye’s thoughts on NFTs, Lili’s hatred of drinking fluids and urinating, Chris sprinting towards death, how Lili’s stomach situation is similar to how heroin is keeping Kieth Richards alive, ordering her disrespectful food order at Odeon, we examine the rise of ‘valley’ aesthetic, Paul Thomas Anderson’s sneaky energy, Bret Easton Ellis the god, how the quotes talk when you listen to a book, contributing to both Vanity Fair and Air Mail simultaneously, and Lili hoping to work with Courtney Love next.
