I knew when I grew up, I always wanted to be a liar, and if you're in television, you're lying because you're just pretending to be yourself much like I'm doing now.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People tend to think they know you when you come into their televisions every week. They think you are different than who you are. Don't believe everything you hear.
I've always operated under the notion that audiences don't always know when they're being lied to, but that they always know when they're being told the truth.
Well, when I was younger, I lied all the time, because once you understand the power of lying, it's really like magic because you transform reality for people.
Until I came out, my acting was all about disguise, and thereafter it became about telling the truth.
I always knew I wanted to be in television when I was a kid, and I knew I wanted to model.
People assume actors are born liars, but I'd argue the actor's job is to tell the truth. And I've realised I'm not a good liar.
I was always a show-off - as a kid I was never afraid to make a fool of myself, and I guess that's still true.
The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.
The thing about television is that you can't fake it. Your sense of discovery must be genuine; you can't pretend to be surprised.
I was a terrific liar as a child, and I believe my lies. So it's a natural step into acting.
