From the age of eighteen to twenty-one, I worked any job I could get my hands on. One of these jobs was selling fake paintings door-to-door.

I wrote a novel in my early twenties; I won a high school prize - my short story got published, and I got 50 dollars, which was a huge deal.

I was an artist - I fancied myself an artist - I sold paintings at bars to pay my rent.

I was a 10 million-plus selling artist.

I was raised to be some kind of artist.

Imagine being 30 years old, thinking you were a media titan, and now you are labeled a 'scam artist.'

I've scammed so many people throughout my whole life who never learned my true identity until I started acting.

When I was in high school, I thought I might be an artist. I was very good at drawing and painting.

I was young and so eager to make some money as well as get exposed and show my talent.
