Sexual identity is broader than a label. Download This Image

It’s very easy to find even great actors reading it more like a reading. Things aren’t really coming alive yet, even though you know they will.

It’s almost like astrology, where if we started on a Tuesday the film will be different than if we started on a Wednesday. Not because of the planets. It’s that sometimes you start with the wrong balance and the whole thing gets messed up.
