| Quotes: |
I grew up in Vancouver, which is a pretty liberal, gay Mecca of the West coast. There's San Francisco, and then there's Vancouver.
<br />
<hr>
I always do whatever is best for the character.
<br />
<hr>
I want to make stuff. I want to make movies and direct stuff and produce stuff and write stuff.
<br />
<hr>
I had to learn a lot on Victorious (2010) because I had never done multi-camera before. It's like music: You need to be on it, and there's no room for subtleties.
<br />
<hr>
I want to go behind the scenes as well as on screen. I think you have to make your own destiny in this world. |
