Mustii told RTBF about his selection, "it's a challenge that I want to take on." When RTBF asked where in the ranking he wished to finish, he said, "[m]y goal is to make an impression no matter what. Above all, I want the performance to be fair, sincere and authentic. I also want to be comfortable in my skin and proud of my performance. That's the primary objective".
