“I really wanted to represent the struggle every child has with this notion of the diaper. What is a “diaper”? Is it hygiene? Is it fashion? Is it a lock-and-key?

A wise man once said “when there’s nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire.” So at the age of 2, I stacked my Huggies in a funeral pyre beside my swing set, and set them aflame.

In that sheen the joie de vivre finally disappeared from behind Aidan’s eyes, and I knew we had our shot…

….I did not feel the need to be on set that day because I trusted my team to uphold my creative vision. Also, as a registered sex offender, federal law required me to remain at least 100 yards away.”
