“Growing up, I was picked on a bit; I was pretty heavy-set, and then I was a theater kid, I just felt unpopular and uncool, so I think in my mind I had this idea of fame and being popular and how nice that would be. The reality of it is sometimes it’s not nice. And maybe this is only an inner voice filled with anxiety, but I’ll be talking to someone and I’ll wonder if they’re only talking to me because of the success or whatever. That’s been this new unique thing I’m navigating.”
