Christopher Bollen
My strength is character. I'm pretty good at building walking-talking humans with brains like beehives.
Christopher Bollen
I like change. I've never really had much consistency in my life, you know, from everyday work to my living situation to whether or not I'm going to be in L.A. The one constant thing in my life is my friends and family, which is all I need
Christopher Bollen
