Hello, Benjamin Ashton.
» Is there anything you would rather be called?
"Most people call me Ben. Unless you're a NASCAR fan, then you'd know me more as 'TheBeast'. But if you call me Benjy, I'll knock your teeth out."
» Great, now that we've got that covered. How old are you?
"Thirty Two. Yeah, I know, I don't look it."
» I see. Are you versed in the art of magic?
"Magic? Hell no. Anything that I've accomplished, I did through hard work and perseverance. Never had to rely on magic to get through anything. Fuckin' glad I don't."
» You know, has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like...?
"Paul Walker? Well, you do know that Fast and the Furious was patterned after me right? Oh, hell yeah. The movie's a bit disappointing, but I never did expect a cheap actor to portray me right. No one can be as good as Benjamin Ashton"

Let's talk about your personality.
» What are a few of your favorite things?
"Ah, I love a lot of things. I love cars, first and foremost. Just the feel of the engine roaring beneath your feet as you push on the pedal. Man, I could live off of that feeling. I love the rush of being in the circuit, vision blurred, hearing only the other cars as they whizz on by as the wind slaps you on the face. God, best feeling ever. I swear, nothing can ever top being in the race track in a list of my favorites. Actually, I pretty much love anything that gives me a certain rush. Life's too short and what's the use if we don't try to push it to the edge, right?
I also love being in the spotlight, though that's probably no surprise. I'm pretty sure the spotlight loves me just the same so it doesn't matter. Plus, I like to think of it as a public service to the fans who want to see more of me. I also really like the gingerbread treats over at the shop nearby the farm. I used to have those when I was a kid and they just stuck as a favorite, I guess. As for my other favorites, you can just grab a GQ and check one of my interviews there."
»That's interesting. Is there anything you absolutely dislike?
"How long do you have? Hah! There are a lot of things that I don't like. I hate routine. If you ever find me doing a routinary thing, I give you permission to kill me. I just can't stand it. The thought of just doing the same thing day-in and day-out? It'd kill me. I also can't stand people who complain about their lives by comparing themselves to other people. I mean, clearly, not everyone can be as rich and powerful as Trump or whoever, but whining and comparing their lives with those much better off than them won't really do nothing. Want to be like Steve Jobs? Get off your ass. It's annoying. What? No, I don't hate people who don't agree with what I think. Who told you that? Sure, I find it a bit offensive. Why exactly wouldn't anyone agree with my suggestions? Oh, I hate Italian food. I just don't see the appeal of it.
» Hm, what is your greatest fear?
"Fear? Never being able to race again."
» Yeah, that is scary. Do you have any dreams for the future?
"First, I have to finish this goddamned physical therapy and as soon as I'm done, I'm going to get back to the races and grab that championship trophy. Trust me, it's not a dream. It's a reality."
» Wow, I hope you succeed. So,what do you think of magic? Do you think it should be controlled or allowed to be practiced freely?
"Yeah. Can you imagine what those magic weirdos could be doing? One of them could go on a race against me and use magic to win, obviously because that's the only way they would. I see no harm in trying to control the abuse coming from people who can take the easy way out when doing things. In fact, more power to the cops for it. "
» Can you tell me a little bit more about yourself?
"I'm the Beast, simply put. I'm a beast in the track, I'm a beast in bed, I'm a beast in life. I just tend to exert myself in the things I do, giving more than a hundred percent. Naturally, I expect the trade off to come back. I give in my all, I expect only the best from my efforts. I'm somewhat impulsive, but that's only because I get things done. I don't wait around for things to happen. I make them happen. I'm easily bored, and often restless, especially during events where I just have to sit down and listen.
My therapist says I have a lot of pent up anger inside me, and I act out or something. I don't even understand where he gets off throwing judgements in my direction. That's not what I'm paying him for. Come on, angry? Me? Hah. Yeah, yeah, I'm an ass. Like I've never heard that before. Let's just move on."

So far so good. Now for history.
» So tell me, where are you from? Are you a natural Faraway citizen? What did you think of it?
"Born here in the city, have no real plans of leaving either. Aside from vacation. I'd still be going around to travel."
» Do you have any other family? Parents? Siblings? Extended? What do you think about them?
"Do I have parents? That's a stupid question. If I didn't, then I wouldn't be born, now would I? Yeah, I do, but they don't live with me. I think they're going around right now, traveling all over China or something. I don't care. I'm comfortable living alone in my own bachelor pad. And, I'm an only child. No siblings. Good thing too. I hate annoying little kids."
» Do you work or go to school? Oh? What do you do there? You enjoying it?
"I dropped out of college, not bothering to finish a degree in Physics. I mean, I could have spent an additional year getting a diploma, but it wouldn't really have mattered anyway. I knew what I wanted, and I went out and pursued it. Look at where it got me? Fame, fortune, power; all within my reach. Now, I'm living the life I've always wanted. I'm a professional NASCAR racer. Suck on that. "
» Any memory of your life you'd like to share? It can be a good or bad memory?
"Obviously, it's the incident that happened a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure you've seen it in the news and read it in the papers. I was racing laps around the track, and just somehow, my tires began to skid. I swear, nothing in the track could have caused that. It was just weird. The car spun out of control, crashing into the nearby wall. I couldn't see anything during that time, just darkness. And I was certain I would be dead. But here I am.
» Where are you now? What are you doing with your life?
"Fucking therapist says I gotta stay away from racing and other strenous activities for a couple of months. Like I'd be able to keep myself from doing that. But whatever. I just walk around town often, killing time, waiting for the bruise on my face to heal. It's weird that none of the ointments that the doctors I've been to seem to work on it. Regardless, I'm not too bothered. I'm just itching to get back on the track and feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins once more."
