Don't make me over

To quote Bowie: I collect personalities. I'm not particularly a clone of anyone, though I wear my influences on my sleeve. I'm probably more like Prince tbh... but I'm honestly not a star. I'm really bored by that: I loved directing a movie, but I'd hate acting. It's not advisable either, given my mental issues: I sincerely doubt I could handle a romance plot without going mad. Which is why I'm writing an anti-musical with bitter satire. I cried a little listening to my score while reading the script for the 2030 musical this arvo, and that's my goal. Bowie wanted to write musicals. I'd like to think that's what stands out about me: I've gone out and bloody done that twice before, and I'm only 29. 👋
