Keep your focus on what YOU want to do - not what anyone else wants or is doing. You lose time watching others succeed.

I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.

Sometimes the path you're on is not as important as the direction you're heading.

I've always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I'm feeling in the moment.

I'd see movies, comedies, and I loved 'Animal House', I loved all the John Hughes stuff, but I never saw me and my friends totally represented.

I grew up in a pretty gay world - my brother's gay and he's been married to a man for 20 years, which is like 60 in straight-people years.
