00:00I think consistency is one of them, to stay consistent with what you're trying to present to the public.
00:10Because consistency, if you can consistently do anything, if you can consistently shoot the ball, you're going to have a great career.
00:18If you can consistently pitch the ball, consistently run and catch the ball, just simplifying it at that point.
00:24But being consistent with your performance is something that people gravitate to.
00:30And then the second one I say is just discipline.
00:34And I'm doing it like the ABCs, I'm doing this for dummies.
00:38I'm doing this like the yellow book at the airport.
00:40What is the simplest thing to say?
00:43But the consistency for you to be able to discipline yourself to be consistent.
00:49And then I think the third part of it is to be aware of where you are in public perception.
00:58Like how people perceive you and what you're saying, registering.

01:30And I'm saying these things and my experience is not a one of one.
01:37So the things that I said at that point, like when you watch many men be something that connects and is relatable to things that are happening in today's time.
01:45It's because it's there, it's life.
01:49Artists have always been able to take painful moments and make special things out of them.
01:55Like whether it's a relationship that doesn't work out or it's a car crash.
02:04This happens more often than other things, though.
02:07You know, relationships not working happen a lot often.
02:10And when we get in the car to go to the store, we don't really, we don't say the prayer that we say when the plane is shaking, you know.
02:18And there's a higher probability that things don't go right just on that trip to the store.
