Who inspires you in your profession? Kira the dog. She constantly shows me new street angles. And Jodorowsky films.
Why should people be jealous of you? Because I’m awesome. And I don’t need to sleep much.
Where do you like to eat and why? Noodle Bar in LES. I eat their food at least 3 times a week. The Mee Siam noodles are the perfect combination of spicy and tangy. Also, I have my own sandwich called “The Aliya” at the local Italian sandwich shop, Piada on Clinton Street.
How do you get motivated? Coffee, music. my friends, and rootbeer flavored Vodkas.
What pisses you off? Morning people.
Who’s on the top of your playlist? The XX, Beyonce, Dum Dum girls, Hunters, and lately I’m really into covers. Like Joan Jett doing “I wanna be your dog” and Siouxsie and the Banshees doing “Helter Skelter”.
What is your catch-phrase? “Oh let’s try it. It will be awesome.”
