What a fun topic, Ben. Your book sounds great.

Adrienne, love your new word “badassery.” LOL

Kelsey, I’m a Bruce Willis fan too. And Arnold.

Love Ripley (not only is she nurturing, but she can kill w/ vengence), Sarah Connor (what a character arc!), and Doug Quaid (Arnold in Total Recall). There’s a lot of badassery going on in that movie.

OMG, Jacqueline! You’re a woman after my own heart. I’ve long wanted to weld metal boxing gloves to the front of my SUV and rig a one-finger salute pop-up to the roof. I’ve resisted, knowing where I live, I would be deported for using that sign .

Oh yeah, I love Ripley, too. I really need to see that again, especially after watching her in Avatar!

I think there’s a little badass in all of us, some–like me–more than others. Maybe that’s why I still love a mushy romance on occasion. Even though I secretly wish I could kick butt like Sarah Connor, at the end of a long day, there’s nothing like a badass man to make it all better.

Thanks, Ben. Nice to hear that determination and not backing down creates Badass. Good cross-section of history, too. So, is it badass or just lack of control that makes me want to mount a stainless steel, razor edge, cow-catcher on the front of my truck when driving through down town traffic??! And thank you Adrienne for being another “sticky note” person.

I love the idea that we can all be a badass in our own way. Great interview!

Kels, Sarah Connor and Ripley (Aliens) are my favorite female badasses. Can you tell I love alternate realities?

Thanks, Ben!!

Bruce was the bomb in that movie!

Ben –

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us about badasses! I think my favorite female badass is Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor in Terminator. Being from Texas, I have a healthy respect for any woman who can cock a gun with one hand, a skill I often wish I had when I’m driving in Doha traffic . As for male badasses, I may get booed, but I like Bruce Willis in the first Die Hard movie.

I’ll have to think more about my fav real life badasses!

Thanks again,
Kelsey
