I don’t care if anyone agrees with me, but I’ve never done anything wrong in my whole life. I’ve spent a couple years starving and shit, but I’ve always been able. I was a male model for awhile, and was making all kinds of bucks, but I quit because I just didn’t like it.

You work at what you do; you learn your craft. I never thought that I couldn’t do anything. I don’t put restrictions on myself. Anyone who’s a true artist doesn’t.
