What was your career path into becoming a badass?
I was already a badass and it lead me towards my career. Badasses are born not made.

What is the first thing you do in the morning?
I look at my self in the mirror, pinch my nipples and say "I would fuck me."
Proudest Moment to date?
Being in a position to help other artists makes me really happy. Being able to mentor and help change the industry. I love helping artists succeed individually rather than having to give up 50% to a gallery.
What is your favorite daily expletive?
FUCK
Favorite Badass Balloon?
CUNT.
When they make your biopic what is the scene that you are going to hope they leave out?
There's nothing I would want to be hidden. I'm an open book, baby, that's my job...I want to show it all!
What's your best piece of advice for aspiring Badasses?
I think being a real badass isn't about the good stuff, it's how you handle the bad stuff thats going to happen because if you're willing to be an entrepreneur, you gotta face a lot of rejection.
