First of all, I'm just so happy to be here.

I'm incredibly aware of how close this subgroup is,

and we were talking outside.

To me, when I started this project, I am so loose and improv,

and non-classical and very comfortable.

And so I think a lot of times people are confused

when they don't really know me.

I am very thoughtful about things.

I am very specific about things.

I'm very direct about things.

And probably the thing I was most specific about

was the naming of the whole project.

And the friends part was very important to me,

because I was completely convinced that I was going to build

Pokemon and Sesame Street and Disney.

I'm even more convinced today than I was 18 months ago.

And if you look at those cultures, they're so big,

and there are so many micro-cultures,

they're geographical, they're character-specific.

And so this happening without me

is the thing that is most interesting for me.

I know it's going to happen.
