This is how you do it.” Because when I first started, I didn’t know what I was doing. I was just going along, rolling with the punches. I definitely caught my stride, but it was a roller coaster. It’s a journey, and there are hills and valleys, ups and downs, throughout the whole journey.”

Someone’s always gonna take away something from my performance, so my biggest mission and my job is to show up and give something, every day, even if I can’t give 100%. I still have to give something. That’s my job.”
