I was very headstrong about wanting to keep my name when I moved to Los Angeles. But casting directors would call my managers and say I was perfect for the part, but my name wasn't marketable - I was a young guy, and had the old man name of Gary. I kept losing jobs because of the name not being marketable, so I changed it to Garrett.

There are still places in America that we need to nurture, to allow them to understand that there are other ways of living, and it's not wrong, just because it's not your way of living.

When you're young, you can be mislead by older people, who know how to manipulate you.

I don't think you get many chances to break the mold of who you are.

I find that half of people I meet are open and want the world to love and be loved, but there are others who are bigoted and hurtful, and want to vote for Trump.

I still feel my generation is split on their attitudes.
