There's part of me that's grateful for the delusion, because it takes a very hard shell to get started as an actor, and I don't have a very hard shell.

I guess I always like being asked questions about influence or inspiration, like, What are you reading? Who are your heroes? Is there any one person you want to shout out to now? I really love paying it forward with love and attention, because that's what I like to read.

I don't feel like it's a time to be shy about raising my voice, and I don't think that the things I'm raising my voice about should be alienating. If it's alienating to a fan base, then I'm not responsible for that.
