Playing athletics, playing a lot of different sports, going to drama school... I was one of those kids who wanted to do everything, so I ended up being pretty average at everything.

Drama school is a pretty intense experience, and I think it changes who you are.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.

There was pretty much some drama going on during the whole making of the new album. There's no such thing as a perfect working environment, and I think the music is better because it didn't come easy.

He then went on to become seriously involved in drama in high school.

I was the editor of the school newspaper and in drama club and choir, so I was not a popular girl in the traditional sense, but I think I was known for being relatively scathing.
