Oh, that's a great one. How do I approach that conversation? Well, all honesty, I always try to have a middle person. I'm a scapegoat type of person. Like, listen, I can't do it. And so I'll have, you know, my publicist or someone like reach out and be like, oh, something came up. It's not necessarily good, but... I'm a stickler for calendars. So I try to avoid those conversations.

Like when the school gives out the calendar for the year, everything is in my calendar. So I give myself 24 hours before, 24 hours after. Because if this is the date for the spring concert, that means we're going to have to practice. We're going to have a wardrobe, you know, make sure the wardrobe works. So if the spring concert is on a Wednesday, then I check out Monday.
