If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.
~Katharine Hepburn

Growing up, this was actually a lesson I learned from my parents. They're a couple of free spirits who never planned to have a child but one day were "blessed by the universe" (my mom's words) with a baby boy. They believed in letting me make my own decisions and find my own way, while supporting me and steering me just enough to keep me safe and out of any real trouble. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to be raised by more traditional parents, but I honestly think I never would have become a performer if not for the support, love and understanding of my folks.

Letting me do what spoke to me might not have been the most popular thing for them to do (my teachers hated my folks because I never got in trouble at home for "disrupting" class with my curiosity and constant questions), but if they hadn't encouraged me to question the rules every now and then, I wouldn't be the man I am today. I'm creative, I'm successful, I'm immortal, and I'm in an open polyamorous relationship with men who believe in breaking the same rules I do. And it's a hell of a lot of fun.
