the interview:
Apollo GT - What was little Jesse like before 10 years old?
Jesse - As a child I was defiant, deviant, shy and not
confident. I absolutely despised going to school due to my
unwillingness to participate as I would always get called
on for questions. Getting in trouble was just about the
only thing I was good at when I was young. Constantly
seeing the principal or in the office was something that I
actually looked foward to because it would get me out of
class. I also fell in love with video games at around that
time too. Video games would allow me to escape reality
for as long as I wanted. Chatting with friends or
immersing myself in the story were things I lived for and
to this day it helps me keep in contact with friends from
middle school....
