Initially, I faced rejection on the basis of how I looked not so much because of my ability. I was told that I wasn't very good looking or conventional maybe I wasn't fair or tall enough. There was a time I landed a bunch of gigs but I decided to pass them on to gamble and wait for something bigger and I don't really know why but these were decent opportunities that I was letting go.

On the energy he carriers

It's just a matter of the mind where I am always being honest with myself while also having a fun time. If I always do the right things with my heart and soul, there is nothing to worry about or regret. "I have to shake things up to keep myself amused. I like to play high stakes in everything and because of that, I like to do things that generally make one very nervous or scared.
