I've just always been that kid that was like, "Look at me! Look at me!," and doing performances and skits. I'm also, as most artists are, a very sensitive person, so I need that outlet to release that. Art needs to be in my life, otherwise I can't function as a human being. I heard Madonna say, "Live it, breathe it, eat it. " That's how I am with the artistic part of myself.
If you're demanding a rodeo jester be thrown in the dungeons for mocking the king, don't pretend you support a free country.
