Do you have any guilty-favorite love songs that take you back to being a teenager?

I don’t normally listen to the radio, but the other day I was flipping through the stations and that song from Dirty Dancing, “She’s Like the Wind,” came on. Oh man, cool song. I wanted to be her [Jennifer Grey as Baby].

You grew up in Las Vegas. Have you ever been inside a quickie wedding chapel?

Yes, I have. My friends got married there—they are just friends; it was part of a bet. I’m not recommending this. Don’t just marry someone because someone says “I’ll give you a thousand dollars if you guys go and get married within the next 24 hours.” I believe they’re still married. It was kind of an interesting moment in thinking about marriage, the “sanctity of marriage,” and how absurd it is that gay couples can’t be acknowledged in that way.

Do you believe in marriage? Can you see yourself getting married?

    Thank you so much for interviewing Jenny Lewis! I’m a big fan of Rilo Kiley and have always felt that her lyrics put an interesting and original spin on love. It was great to read about her personal insight into relationships. This was my first time reading Tango but I will definitely be back for more!
