...definitely learned a lot more about myself and other people. I'm a very caring, loyal, giving person. My whole world revolves around my family and my mom has always taught me to be a really kind person....In my 21 years my parents have never had an argument. We don't do that. We all get along. Whatever happens, you don't rock the boat. Whatever you do. I can't change that because that's who I am. When someone's cursing at me and I could curse back, I think, 'That's just not you Leea...

"The movie stuff will pay my rent," he says. "But if I want my words to remain...
...Well, there were a number of them, actually. There was Little Man, who was you know, a little man. There was Gonzo the horse. There was a third one, I think it may have just been called monster, who was, like, a monster. And my mom tells me stories where I used to have races with them and I would race around the house and my mom is like "Todd, Todd, why are you running around?" and I'm like "Well, I'm having a race with Gonzo and Little Man" and just kept running around. Then the next time...
