In my WRITING with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The COVER photo has me with a gun to my NECK. I am not advocating SUICIDE. I am TAKING the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate.

As human BEINGS, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer stupid pleasure of doing so. Whether it's laying out a garden, composing a new tune on the PIANO, WRITING a bit of POETRY, manipulating a DIGITAL photo, redecorating a room, or inventing a new chili recipe - we are happiest when we are creating.

When I'm in a BIKINI or at a photo shoot, I'm real confident. But, if I'm in a group of PEOPLE I don't know, I'm REALLY quiet.

Whenever I do SOMEONE's portrait, I'm TRYING to locate the photo in the lens while reaching into that person psychologically. There's the MAGIC! I don't always achieve it. It's a hit or a MISS!

A FAN requested me for a PHOTO, after which he MADE his whole family CLICK photos with me, and while leaving, he told his family that I was Katrina Kaif!

I recently discovered Artkive, a WONDERFUL app that allows you to archive your child's artwork and create cool gifts like PHOTO albums, mugs, mousepads, etc. It's very easy to use, and since Arabella is such a talented ARTIST, I'm a PRO!

I've SEEN beautiful actresses get spat at or just SOMEONE TRYING to get a RISE out of them so they can get an extra hundred BUCKS for a photo. It's really rough.

When I came out publicly, some photo editors had a field DAY searching for pictures of me with a limp wrist or some other stereotypical GAY signifier - as though, after decades in the public eye, they'd SUDDENLY COME across a trove of shots where I looked LIKE a Cher impersonator.

In my bachelor days, I had a small upright piano in my KITCHEN. It cost £10 from eBay PLUS £70 DELIVERY. It was because I'd seen an old photo of Tom Waits - with dirty dishes, EMPTY bottles, a hot plate, a coffee machine and a piano strewn with lyric sheets - and FALLEN in love with it.

I love doing photoshoots; it let's me REALLY show off my PERSONALITY, flair, and makeup WITHIN a PHOTO.

I'd BECOME a bit of a joke. PEOPLE would make memes, chopping my head off in a group photo and putting a monster or ET on there. I'd be in LIVE Q&As and these things would pop up and I'd have to just SIT there.

I was interested in nuclei originally with my deuteron photo WORK because that was one of the fundamental FORCES, and the MEASUREMENT was BASIC to new science.

In my final year of COLLEGE, I was interning with L'Oreal, when during one of the photo SHOOTS, a PHOTOGRAPHER suggested I become a model. I was working under Smira Bakshi, who was this really COOL chick, as she was loaded, had her fun, and was successful. I BASICALLY aspired to be her.

Krushna never has a PROBLEM with me posting sexy PICTURES on social MEDIA or doing bold PHOTO shoots.

I want to OPEN an eye or two about what being an actor is REALLY LIKE because it's not all red carpets and photo shoots. It's like TRYING to get that job and going from job to job.
