Q and A with
Elmer Wayne Henley
interview
January 010
Do you enjoy listening to
music? If so, what kind?
I listen to all types,
but am fond of female vocalists in particular. Most of the time I listen
to pop- Top 40 stuff. I like Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Eminem,
Kings of Leon, Kelly Clarkson, etc. I also like R&B, Blues and Rock.
What's your favorite food?
That changes from time to
time, but chocolate is a constant/ Lately, I've been wishing for a good
pork roast with onions, new potatoes, and carrots.
What is your favorite flavor
of ice cream?
Chocolate fudge brownie
mix or caramel pecan fudge. When I was out, I liked hot fudge sundaes.
Honestly, though, I'll eat any kind of ice cream at my house, it was my
grandmother's comfort food.
Do you have any tattoos?
No, none. There are some
I've seen on other people that look good, but never found one I wanted
on me.
If you could fight anyone
alive or dead, who would you fight?
This is new: nobody has
ever asked me who I would want to fight. To be truthful, I'm not a
fighter except in self-defense. I'm willing to fight any bully just on
GP, but not any one person. To me, if I really dislike someone or they
really get on my nerves, I want to be as far away from them as possible.
The people around me are seldom long-term. Not like in a neighborhood,
they'll be gone before too long. Truly annoying people tend to get on
everyone's nerves and get moved to places for such folks.
Do you have a favorite
artist?
Chuck Close and Patrick
Nagel. I know Nagel is dead, but I'm not sure of Close.
How do you describe yourself?
I'm a nerdy type and I
get teased for answering the Jeopardy quiz, but I'm also a top tier
handball player and was a power-lifter who stays in shape.
What one thing would you want
with you on a desert island?
Access to plenty of
books. Reading is what has carried me through all these years in here.
When I read I'm learning new things, letting go of my ugly surroundings,
and traveling to other places.
What is your most missed
memory?
Sitting in the back yard
at home cooking BBQ, drinking a cold beer or lemonade, surrounded by
friends and family.
Are you married and or do you
have any children?
No, no wife. Never
married. No children-which is both a good thing since a child born the
year I got locked up would be 36, and sad because I would have loved to
raise children.
Have you ever gotten the
chance to check out the movie Collectors?
No, never got to see it,
but mom mom has told me it isn't bad
