This is how the world works, right? I truly believe if it's meant to happen, it will. I block out the noise around my work.
I love to do what I do, so I do not let these things affect me. It is truly the producer's headache — which is sad — but it is their problem. If I invest my mind into thinking, 'Oh, what's going to happen,' I will always be restless.
