Something my mom and I have always said to each other is: 'We're not here for interviews. We're not here to get your picture taken. We're here to make a difference, and this is our opportunity to.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have parents come up to me and say, 'I don't know who you are, but my kid wants his picture taken with you.'
It's like pulling teeth to get me to do photo shoots. And I don't mind doing interviews if they're by phone, but I hate to go sit down and have to meet somebody somewhere, you know what I mean.
When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.
That's quite a difficult thing in life, to be who you are. And when you are doing interviews, you kind of feel this need to say something interesting.
People think I don't like interviews but I don't mind speaking about proper and interesting stuff. When it's stupid stuff to build your image and you are told to mention this and mention that, I hate it.
Let me be unambiguous. I prefer not to be photographed.
Sometimes interviews are fun and good conversations, but stuff like photo shoots and appearances at places where you have to meet a lot of people - I was never really made for this kind of stuff.
I'm not comfortable being photographed, though I accept it is part of the job.
When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.
All I do is give interviews and spend time being photographed.
