""I remember my first Delta One flight cross country, and I mostly remember it because Amanda Seyfried was on the flight, and she had a golden retriever that also got its own seat," he says of his first time flying in a class other than economy. "I remember thinking like, 'Wow, that dog has probably flown first class more than I have.' And probably still has!""
"His priorities when planning a vacation: For me, a vacation is not doing anything. I'm about to go on my bachelor party to New Orleans, and they've planned a full slate of activities throughout the weekend. And that's fine, actually, I'm really excited about that! But for me, if I'm planning the vacation, it's going to be about proximity to the beach, what books I am reading, and leaving me alone for eight hours while I bake in the sun."
"I do most of my writing on planes, especially in periods when I'm touring or flying a lot. It's the one place that I can seem to focus the best. I don't buy wifi, so I don't have access to my phone. I wrote most of Fire Island on a plane to Tokyo, actually, so I associate flying with getting a lot of work done."
Joel Kim Booster currently stars in Loot season three, released a Netflix comedy special, and earned two Emmy nominations for Fire Island. He contrasts career milestones with celebrity pet privileges, recalling an Amanda Seyfried golden retriever occupying its own Delta One seat. He is finalizing a New Year's Eve wedding in San Francisco and plans a bachelor party in New Orleans and a honeymoon. Vacation preferences prioritize doing nothing: proximity to the beach, reading, and long solitary sunbathing. He often writes on planes without wifi, composing much of Fire Island en route to Tokyo, or alternately relaxes with edibles and downloaded shows.
