I would definitely love to see a queer rom-com because representation matters. It does so much to help normalize things in the mind of society. Shannon Purser Read Quote
It’s movies like ‘Love, Simon’ that are so pivotal because it’s this sweet rom-com that you would watch about a straight couple, but it’s two guys. It feels natural and real and just charming. I would love to see more movies like that. Shannon Purser Read Quote

As fun as it is to be the nerdy best friend. I’m capable of more than that, and I feel that I have emotions to share, and there are roles I can add something to. I just hope there are other people who are willing to take that chance on me and let me tell their stories. Shannon Purser Read Quote

People have actually had my face tattooed on to their bodies, which is so odd. Shannon Purser Read Quote
