Brian is not afraid of making people uncomfortable. His unorthodox, androgynous appearance has already gained him a share of notoriety. "What I would find amusing, a reaction I would like to create, for example, is for somebody, who in his life has been homophobic, to come to a gig and mistake me for a woman for the first half of the gig, and actually think I was quite cute, and then discover that I was a bloke and have to ask themselves some questions about themselves, you know." And he draws from his formative experience as an actor to work through his most uncomfortable and unnerving emotions. "In acting, you could do things you wouldn't normally do in real life and get away with them," he furthers. "In writing, my characters can do that as well, they can do things you might be afraid of, or feel thing you'd feel guilty or uncomfortable about. And you can get rid of personal feelings through them."
