It was right after I left Hill of a treeand it wasn’t because of the fandom,” Murray shared in an interview with Interview magazine published on Wednesday, December 11. “It was because, when you’re 18 to 25, those great years when you’re really learning life experiences and your brain isn’t fully developed, you make mistakes.”
