I was so incredibly nervous to start this job, and then the Internet is having so many hateful opinions on the weird, strange look of the thing… You can only make this performance to please yourself. It unlocked something in me. And it gave me the confidence that I can take on any challenge. At least, that’s how I feel when I accept these things.
