I think the community that you're in really can define your ability to be at peace with your circumstances.

You have to keep your long hair.

You've got to avoid situations that make you uncomfortable.

Sometimes there's something that you need a few takes to get it and if it takes 15 takes, it takes 15 takes. It really depends.

Having haters is just a part of the business, and the more haters you have, the more people like you - that's how I view it, because I try to see the positive in things.
