I definitely wasn't cool in high school. I really wasn't. I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route, so I had friends in all areas. But I certainly did not know what to wear, did not know how to do my hair, all those things.
I want to struggle and make films. It's not a financial thing, it's more of a who-I-am thing.
The standardized American is largely a myth created not least by Americans themselves.
