I am very, very clear on how difficult it is for a young kid out there to go into the arts without taking a lot of heat from his peers.
I don’t want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don’t want to be the Dance Dude. I don’t want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life, it’d drive me crazy.
