I Don’t Want Kids To Think It’s

I Was 20 Years Old, Working As A Roofer And A Telemarketer And Driving A Taxi, Just Barely Getting By. A Friend Of A Friend Suggested I Try Acting. I Was Like, 'why? What Am I Going To Do? Community Theater?' But I Took A Class, And The Teacher Thought That I Had Potential, So I Moved To Vancouver And Started Auditioning.

My Past Made Me Who I Am Today. I Can’t Just Pretend It Never Happened. But The Biggest Lesson I Learnt From That, Is That I Can Be An Example For Others Who Are Still Struggling! There’s Always Hope And Help For Everyone. I Think It’s My Responsibility To Do That, To Help. I Always Refer To This As The “moment Of Clarity”. It’s Hard To Explain What Really Happened, But It Was A Once In A Lifetime Kind Of Moment. I Had Reached My Lowest Point And I Just Knew Things Had To Change Quickly Because There Was Just No Other Way, You Know.

I Recently Had A Few Days Off While Shooting A Movie In Budapest, So I Took A Cab From The Set To The Airport, Looked At The Departure Board, And Decided Where I Wanted To Go Right Then And There. I Spent Four Days In Rome And Didn't Tell Anyone I Was Going.

I Didn't Have Any Definition Of Self. I Never Fit In, So I Started Pretending I Was Other People. I'd Find People I Thought Were Cool And Dress How They Dressed, Talk How They Talked, Do Whatever They Were Into. This Led To A Period Of Drugs And Anchohol. When His Family Gave Him An Ultimatum To Get Clean Or They'd Report Him To The Police Corey Said, "i Was Done Fighting Myself. I Finally Said, "i'm Gonna Start Looking At My Life And Figure Out Why I'm Doing This.

I Probably Tweet Every Other Day, Which I Know Isn't Half As Much As Some People.
