There's actually a song called 'Vegas Lights', which I wanted to be an anthem for Vegas, that represented how I felt when I went to the clubs. I felt this weird energy where everybody was having a good time, and it didn't matter. Dancing like nobody's watching. It was kind of beautiful.

Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts.
