Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.

This industry is very make-believe and you caught in a false sense of what reality is.

A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well.

You can become really pigeon-holed in this industry.

I have always been mainstream. It's so weird, because I don't see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.
