I'm an only child and I'm just a real loner kind of person, and yeah, kinda dark. But I'm happy. Not sad.
I think they think I'm like, James Dean or something. I wish I were, but I'm not.
It's not an easy business to break into, but I've been really fortunate. It's still hard to get the parts you want.
I got headshots, an agent and started auditioning, but things didn't get really started until I started working with my manager.
People are kinda seeing that it is okay to just be attracted to a person and not so much a body. For some people, that is more (honest) than just "homosexuality|gay" or "heterosexuality|straight." I think there is an in-between. I think bisexuality is frowned upon for a lot of different reasons. But I don't like any of those words. I don't like any of those labels. I think they're limiting.
