I was brought up in a fairly emotionally repressed kind of society in Northeast England where one didn't express emotions and was expected to keep a stiff upper lip.
Some people expect me to be funny all the time, and I'm not necessarily funny all the time.
I don't really know what 'a dark place' means. I have windows in my house, and I'm generally an upbeat person! A lot of people throw that word at me because I wear a lot of black and leather.
It's always been like this since the beginning of time. You interact with one female or somebody that people will think you'll cute with and everybody either assumes that you're dating or they want you date. It's just how it all works.
A secret gets bigger and nastier the longer you don't talk about it.
There was a lot of stress and assumptions made without me even saying anything, which was very upsetting.
My mom is not trying to live vicariously through me.
In this business, there is an insane amount of pressure, spoken and unspoken, to be thin. If you look at some of the television shows, eating disorders become like a competitive thing.
It was taken for granted that we had to make something of ourselves. Not much was said about it; it was just in the atmosphere of the home.
