I like the idea that my audience doesn't see what I do as controversial.

I'm comfortable having a specific audience to write to. I like the idea that my audience doesn't see what I do as controversial.

I didn't really get involved too heavily with being an actual film person.

I think if I'm controversial it's not because I set out to be. It's because I've never felt comfortable being part of someone else's mainstream community.

I have never written out of a desire to be controversial.

My objective was to have as varied a selection of roles as possible. It probably did hurt my career.

I mean it allowed me to do that which was fantastic because we really get to see the character mature and deal with some things that are, that I think as an audience member, really pull us in.

There are definitely a lot of roles I didn't get based off of the way I look, but I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm going to write stories for myself or work with filmmakers who want to tell stories about real people.
