I didn’t know what was going to come out”), and talks about growing out of being a perfectionist (“I’m just not as worried as I was when I was younger. I’m a professional. I want things to be great. I want to be as perfect as I can be as a professional, but I’m not a perfect person. I sound different. I look different and I’m OK with that”).

And it is exhausting because there is never rest.”
