I don’t care too much what happened in the past. I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.
I remember a distinct moment when it was my junior year of college, and the content I was making was changing and not really myself, and I tried to switch back to just putting me out there.

Oh, she just happened to be a friend of the producer’s. Or, oh, they’ve been trying to get her from the beginning and she just had a spot open up. There are always little loopholes, so I don’t take anything personally anymore.

I’m always disappointed when we lose, and it’s happened quite a few times.
