I like bad boys, and I like to take them home to my mom.

I like bad boys... not really bad, but men with an edge... they should be clean but have that streak.

I like bags that are easy to wear and are pretty to look at. But I don't like them when they have no space and you can't put anything in them.

I like baked potatoes. I don't have a microwave oven, and it takes forever to bake a potato in a conventional oven. Sometimes I'll just throw one in there, even if I don't want one, because by the time it's done, who knows?

I like bands for a long time, even when they're not trendy anymore. I still like Arcade Fire. I've always liked Stevie Wonder.

I like bangers and really testosterone-fueled stuff.

I like banks because they keep my money safe, but I don't want to talk about banks 12 times a year.

I like barbecuing because it's easy.

I like baroque things.

I like bars just after they open for the evening. When the air inside is still cool and clean and everything is shiny and the barkeep is giving himself that last look in the mirror to see if his tie is straight and his hair is smooth. I like the neat bottles on the bar back and the lovely shining glasses and the anticipation. I like to watch the man mix the first one of the evening and put it down on a crisp mat and put the little folded napkin beside it. I like to taste it slowly. The first quiet drink of the evening in a quiet bar--that's wonderful.

I like basketball, and I've been to three games, which is so much more fun than seeing it on TV, I think.

I like basketball, but please don't ask me basketball questions because I've got a lot to learn.

I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.

I like beans. Lentils are beans, right? I love beans and rice.

I like bears. I like bear people. I like bear-type men.

I like beautiful clothing. I love Bergdorfs.

I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.

I like beer. On occasion, I will even drink beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that the refrigerator is still working.

I like befriending my collaborators because I'd rather make music with people I like than people I pretend to like.
