I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.
People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.
Throughout my 20s I spent a lot of time just playing and not really working, but fortunately for me I continued to get just enough work, and have a reason to wake up in the morning. I really empathize with some of my peers who had success in the early years then it dries up, and so there's no reason to get up in the morning.
