"If you look at my parents, they have high cheekbones and [are] very skinny," Carter explained. "I don't want to always feel like I have to prove myself, but people put me in these positions, and that's fine."
"I drink wine. I smoke weed. I have anxiety problems, I take medication for anxiety. I mean, it's just what it is," he admitted. "The misconceptions are that I'm a meth head, or I'm a crackhead, or I'm a drug addict, or I'm this or that."
