I don't feel special. . . I was just full of energy and loved to learn.
Acting is magical. Change your look and your attitude, and you can be anyone.

I just tend to admire people who go for what they believe in, like David Lynch for example, and just say what goes through their heads, and are not afraid of people not accepting them. I have no respect for people who deliberately try to be weird to attract attention, but if that's who you honestly are, you shouldn't try to "normalize yourself". It's a fine line.

I enjoyed the whole process of learning and was always happy when autumn came and school or college started up again.
