But then at a certain point, you have to give back, you have to share what you've learned, because we got to keep the next generation going." "You've got to be making content that's extremely new and different and interactive. Or a lot of it just pay to play." "Do you have actual followers or do you just have viewers that just want to see?" "If I can do something that makes someone's life more fulfilled, then fuck, I'm stoked." "We're all curating how we look to the world, even in the smallest of ways or very extreme ways with piercings and tattoos." "I just wanted to contribute towards the dismantling of this backwards philosophy that we all should fall in line into a certain, you know, living a certain way."
