I pronounce, I put things in different places, and then
when I bring it together, it's just like masterpiece. So
I would just say, like, just a little impatience just
as an artist, just because I wanted to be perfect
and I wanted to be done.

Speaker 6 (04:58):
But that would be That's what I would say the least.
