‘It’s such a huge platform and you think, ‘OK, what is it that I want to do?’ And to tell you the truth, you know, when I think about sports … and music, those are the two things that really, really bring people together. 

‘So, for me, it’s an opportunity to really bring people together in a moment of celebration, in joy, love, in unity and happiness. That’s what I feel that we’re going to provide. It really is about love and unity and celebrating the potential in every single person that’s inside of each one of us for all the beautiful things we are.’
