“I guess there’s just a light at the end of the tunnel,” Williams chuckled. “I don’t know, I’m getting closer to the light, so ….“Lately that’s been it for me. I can’t wait to get to that light.”“Freedom,” she said when asked what that light represented. “I love playing though, so it’s like amazing.“But, you know, I can’t do this forever. So it’s just like sometimes you just want to try your best to enjoy the moments and do the best that you can.”
