He seems like a cool guy…like you could totally go get a beer with him and talk about which flavor of Dorito is best.

In my last year in Berkeley, I lived next door to him. He’s a really cool guy, and totes down to earth.

I was once in line at Brazil Cafe and he was waiting for his sandwich. When they called his number I remember him reaching over my head … except he didn’t really have to reach, his arm just went straight out. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so small.
