questionnaire

okay relatively painless so dan how was that experience uh it was good, was it?

Okay, I usually complain under pressure, so it was relatively easy considering other high-pressure situations I've cracked in. If there were questions you lied about. No, no, the problem is between my friends and my family. I would be responsible for each and every response. to those questions probably publicly, so I don't think I could get away with lying about this if this were private. We would hear that we would have a whole other range of answers to those questions, but can you explain why you answered? Oprah, which living person do you most admire? I mean, she's played such a formative role in my life.

She was someone who has greatly informed my desire to be of service to people to try to do good in the world. She has inspired a meaning. of charity um and generosity in me um from a very young age and I just think that she is someone who has left a mark on the world in such a positive way, you responded thinking I have an answer for everything when I asked you what most trait you have. deplore in yourself where that went wrong a lot of times it's like unwanted advice where I just can't help but offer solutions or opinions on things I was ultimately never asked for, but I'm a leo so I mean, no.

I want to use a default zodiac sign because it's a really weak excuse, but at the same time, people who are Leo realize that they are essentially trapped by a zodiac sign, whether they want to admit it or not, and I don't even really like those. zodiac signs, so I don't really know what that means, but I do know that I check a lot of the boxes in my horoscope, why do you think obedience is the most overrated virtue? I think I've learned, even in this short time in entertainment, that a lot of the current setup and you know, the current kind of constructs of how this industry has been built and sustained over the years is based on the simple concept of simply people do what they are told and that does not mean that doing what they are told is a bad thing sometimes, but I do believe that sometimes to achieve big change you have to break the rules or at least ask questions that drive I go back to the rules and I think this is the only time you will change them for the better.

Hopefully you can explain the context behind your biggest regret for not respecting me enough as a teenager. Yeah, I mean, I think I was a very introverted kid. I didn't think that highly of myself and I think if you look back on your teenage years and see missed opportunities, would I have changed anything? Probably not because I feel like everything that happened to me led me to be who I am today, but at the same time. I feel like you know, looking back, you think, geez, you were so much better than you thought if I ever met my younger self in a weird sci-fi setting, that's what I would say.

Why London, England is the place for you? I like living there, I lived there for a while when I was in my early 20s and I loved it and I go on a lot of dates there to be completely honest, LA and I on the dating scene just aren't the best fit. Why humility is the best option? The quality you like most in a man is maybe because I live in Los Angeles and it's very difficult to find that in men in Los Angeles people are very, very worried about themselves in Los Angeles. You know, I think that's a very attractive quality to be sure. yourself and confident, but don't let it take over who you are or define who you are, why is Mary Poppins your fictional heroine?

She is my fondest and oldest childhood memory of a fictional character and I have always admired her willpower, her stoicism. humor and there was a strong kind of warmth to that character that I have always loved and I once made the big mistake of telling my nana that she wanted Julie Andrews to be my grandmother and she didn't like it very much. Well now I miss my nana a lot so I have compared the two of them, how did she respond to that? I think she raised an eyebrow and said, I'm standing here, why are Anne Carson and Michaela Cole? your favorite writers I have so many favorite writers that I think you can only go on like the people who are taking up space in your mind right now and I just reread Red's autobiography, which is my favorite work of fiction, um, which is a long- A poem that Ann Carson wrote many years ago and that always brings me great inspiration and joy when it comes to contemporary writers.

I thought what Michaela Cole did with I May Destroy You was absolutely revolutionary and inspiring. and heartbreaking and necessary so it seemed like two important types of voices that are floating in my head you said the talent you would most like to have is to be a very, very good singer, can you share what would be your favorite song to audition for? I don't sing that often because I don't have a very notable voice, you know, in my mind, a really really good singer is like I'd love to, you know, show up at a Christmas party and sing along to a piano. adele and have everyone run into the room and gasp at the vocal style she was surprising people with, not the case in real life but probably a son of mariah carey, would probably sing a mariah song tortoiseshell, let's talk about your best extravagant glasses and sunglasses.

I've been collecting glasses I think since I was in high school, so you know they're a form of expression, I think when you literally can't see without them. I have always felt that if I keep these glasses, I will have as many as I can to change them according to each mood and see if you want, then you answered that I really like my life, so the concept of reincarnation is a little sad. For me, why do I think there are many people who have a lot of hope in reincarnation? I think it's a very optimistic thing for people who believe that there is something out there, I think as someone who has worked very hard to find a life for themselves and build a life for themselves and take up space on the planet coming from a place where I felt like I was never going to take up space on the planet and that I was never going to have a voice that I loved or that I or other people would love, I think that when you spend time really building a happy, joyful, successful life for yourself, the idea of ​​going back is like a toad, just no, it doesn't do it for me, so I don't do it.

I don't know, I'm focusing on this life right now and whatever happens next, I guess I'll leave it up to the stars, and by stars I mean celebrities, I'll just let a celebrity decide what I'll come back to, how do you think are these questions? You have revealed your true nature. I think these questions have hopefully guided the viewer down a path towards my true nature. I hope we held hands for some part of that journey.
