Even from when I was in grade school or church or wherever, I was always like: we're one, and we should respect each other and grow as one. And respect each other's diversity, of course.

Even though I like looking good - don't get me wrong - but if I don't want to, I don't have to.

They're all personal and self-created challenges that I think I've overcome within myself. Being confident enough to get on stage and play, things like that.
