in the situation and in the seat that I sit, in the situation I'm in, in the seat that I sit, meaning the privileged seat that I sit in, I've worked very, very hard to be in this position, but because I am here, if I am not paying forward, and that is not just to my immediate nuclear family, my extended family, but also my community family, right?
If I am not paying it forward,
The ability that I have to touch people and hopefully inspire people, but certainly the ability I have to deploy resources in a certain way, to deploy power in a certain way, to try to be an example.
And I hope a positive example of what it looks like when someone like myself gets into a position of power.

I would be wasting a God given opportunity to go out.
And then I hope create a positive cycle of success.

Hollywood, you know, box office streaming numbers, even awards.
