That's the funniest thing about portraying certain things on screen, sitting next to your parents and they get to see this glimpse of me kissing another guy.

The artist-muse relationship is romantic and passionate, and complex, and I would imagine that would be a hard relationship to have if you're not with the person. It requires so much of each other, you have to be in love with each other.

Look, some people talk about their personal lives a lot; I try not to, unless it's more of a generality.

At the time, when you're being dissected and judged it's pretty brutal, but in hindsight it's great and - it sounds cliched - you do come out the other side better and stronger.

I grew up in a small town where everyone wanted to be the same or look the same and was afraid to be different.

I wasn't a social butterfly at all.
