Do you enjoy having your fans? A lot of people look up to you, and that's great, but I see a lot of questions rolling in (some meaningful, some less so). I just wonder if you see it as either a bunch of pests to appease or many devoted individuals that respect you and your work.

of course i enjoy having fans, especially creative, understanding and genuine ones. 

i honestly get around 30+ questions a day and delete most mostly due to them being repeat questions or throw away fact questions people can easily google. 

on tumblr i dont get as many jackass questions… i still get a few anon questions trying to bait me into traps or obvious anon questions from people who dont realize the questions they are asking are so personal /specific that i know whos asking them…. hint hint, you know who you are…

but i just delete those, and its not at all as annoying as twitter.. so far. 

i do enjoy answering questions that might help people, i know i could have used some advice when i was younger so i usually answer those. i think its important when being in the public eye to put as much as you can out there so people get a better idea of you as a whole person, instead of the caricature  the press/internets paint you out to be… so i try to give context to the things i say and do so people dont just assume im just a “straight white male who was born into privilege and thats why he is where he is now”. because youd be surprised how often i hear that these days… little do they know im 1/4th mexican and did some pretty gay shit when i was 7! ill show em!
