I didn't make myself.

They gave me options and gave me a little bit more to stand out, to make who I am.

It's just not that I did it all on my own.

In all truthfulness, if they had stayed like they were, they would have still been in business.

They tried to expand too much, too quick, too fast.

And it just didn't work.
