The reason I'm so kind to people is because no one was kind to me growing up. They bullied me, people hated on me. I wanted to see me lose. No one backed me down. They didn't care. Everyone's figuring out. A lot of these people, I paid the dummy tax. I've seen billionaires that you think would have it all figured out, and they can't stop using. So that's why I'm so loving. People don't worry, don't think. We just learn and grow daily. That's all we do, you know, day by day.
