"We don't always have to build our brand, future or fan-based relationships. It doesn't matter if the person is a Legend or whatever, especially when you have your sh!t figured out. It might not always go as planned or be easy, but I feel like the tactics of riding on relationships should be the last option. Work on your craft and let your talent do the talking, live those who know and want to associate your brand to relationships do that, that would be a cheap or free hype for you. I'm glad she knows what she wants."
