@boybandfangirl @tricoastworldwide: What is your biggest concern with the future?

@boybandfangirl @tricoastworldwide: What’s a defining moment in your life? There was a small but significant moment during the making of “I Used to be Normal” that stands out.

@boybandfangirl @tricoastworldwide: Why did you decide to work in this industry? Growing up I thought I wanted to be an author, a teacher or a journalist.
