You know you're gog to get the tulips and you're gog to get a whip somebody's ass. So I was like, <em>Someone's gog to unterbalance that.

I went through a really tough patch middle school and high school, which led me to leave there. I went to a boardg school Michigan lled Interlochen Arts Amy, a big arts super high school, graduat like Alicia Keys and Jewel and Josh Groban and all of those characters. That really was very helpful for me to fd my way to a creative rource growg up. You know, 's kd of funny, we had a mock prom 1983, two guys ran for kg and queen, and they won. So was very different to go om the public school to the boardg school.

So seems like the storytellg is a lot more round, they're givg you another bend the curve. I uld never que tell the first season, was my story too advanced, and that's why I was the background? I heard that a lot when the first season aired: <em>he seems tertg, why’s he always the background? </em>It always seemed like the meras would go wherever Eric was, but then as I got olr I realized: they jt didn't have the money. They only had like one or two mera crews and they uld barely afford their own food.
