There is going to be a hundred thousand doors slammed in your face before one opens, so feel ok about taking rejection.

It doesn't matter what medium I perform, I just love to perform in general, if it's good work.

I did get bullied and I did get picked on and I did have that feeling in my gut of being incredibly self-conscious. I naturally gravitated towards my elders because I didn't know how to speak or be present with my peers.
