I was conveniently bisexual for a long time, and then I went, 'Come on, who am I kidding?' And I have to say, it was the single biggest step I took toward emotional well-being, to stop feeling like I had to hide who I am.

If a scene is longer than three pages, it better be for a good reason.

I would say try to tell stories that you care about as opposed to stories that you think will sell.

I need to feel like the work I'm doing is not necessarily important, but meaningful, at least to me, because otherwise it just becomes a day job. It just becomes factory work and I get really frustrated.

Ultimately, physical resemblance isn't as important as whether this person can bring this character to life in a way that's compelling and makes me care about what happens to them.

I will say that the environment I grew up in was not the most progressive.

My own belief is that people can come back from anything. It doesn't mean that it won't come at a huge cost.
