I can safely say that I had an incredibly difficult and trying past growing up and trying to be an artist and standing up as who I am in this world.

My personal life is a source of incredible happiness for me, but it's personal and it's not for me to hock, or shop around to the highest bidder. Plus, it could never live up to the amazing mythology that everyone online has created for me, so I'll keep mum about it.

Forget horror icon, Kety Bates is an icon. She's an acting icon. I was raised on so many of her films, everything from Misery to Fried Green Tomatoes to Delores Claiborne, all films that I've watched multiple times and been inspired by.

I'm a long time [Scott] Fitzgerald fan, as probably everyone in America is. And I've always been fascinated by that theme of, what is the price of the American dream and what parts of your soul do you walk away with? The conflict of art versus commerce was also very interesting to me.

Billy [Ray] is a preternatural enthusiast. He would say things to me like, Now, let me tell you about Episode 3. I'm a big superstitious, having done television for quite some time, and I would say, Billy, I can't wait to hear about it, but let's just stay here for right now, see what happens, and enjoy this moment.
