With Dazed and Confused I got the high school experience I didn't get to have. So you do create families and homes. You're projecting and it's your job. The amount of time and headspace and thought it takes on your psyche is huge. It's exhausting, yeah. And it's exhausting but it's also great.

I usually play character parts in Hollywood films.

I like bears. I like bear people. I like bear-type men.

I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.

I haven't seen a bear in person. I've seen deer. I have lots of woodchucks on my property. And bluebirds. Foxes.

I watch soap operas. I bake brownies. Normalcy is coursing through my veins.

You're talking to someone, to a reader, and you get to express in the way you want to. And you get to play with it. It's kind of like acting, but it's on paper.
