I think more things are becoming socially acceptable. I think that just by having more media, whether that's TV or Internet, we're able to see more things.
I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.
I had a tough time fitting in, as I guess most kids do. I felt like school was kind of a grand opportunity to figure yourself out and to figure out what you wanted.
There is beauty in living in a small space, as a child. Some aspects of it are so beautiful, and it's so nice to not see the darkness. But then, in other ways, there's a whole range of experience that's being missed because of it.
I didn't have a regular school experience and wanted a more abstract way of learning. I started exploring in lots of different creative ways. It gave me the opportunity to travel and play music, so it was good for me.
Whenever you want something that you're not going to get, suddenly the whiney 3-year-old comes out in you.
I usually get my lyrics when I let my mind wander, when you're not really awake, but not yet fully asleep. I keep an open notebook by my bed and then just write whatever comes to me.
I was home-schooled 'cause I wanted to be an actor. I would spend all day watching movies, trying to get through calculus.
I didn't go to prom - I was homeschooled.
I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor.
I was the type of person that would show a PowerPoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it.
I'm so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they're really not that bad.
It's very scary to allow the world to see you.
Instruments fascinate me because they're completely awkward. When I picked up a guitar for the first time I was like, "What is this?" because it's so foreign and unknown.
