He has so much going on, I had to ask him, "15 Questions."

1. What were you love as a child? How are you different now?
Growing up I live on a horse farm in the middle of nowhere, so I didn't contain a lot of other kids to play with. When you're living in the country, your imagination is your best comrade. You learn to save yourself entertained with nothing more than dirt and sticks. My mother always encouraged my creativity and imagination. I think that's where I get a lot of my artistic inspiration today. I still feel like I never grew up from the kid who turned a cardboard box into a superhero hideout. Considering I still wear a cape around the house, I guess not much has changed.

My right to marry the person I love has no effect on any other person's marriage – gay or straight – and I pray the court does the right thing."
