Unfortunately, modeling takes you with no transition from being a girl to being a business woman.
It's a very hard and competitive business in which you have to fight every day in order to impose yourself.
Traditionally the show must go on which is a stupid thing to say, but that in a nutshell is what's going on. We have a new record out; if we won't tour, the new record dies. It's reality - it's what business is nowadays. You just need to tour to sell...
If you don't tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us.
I'm strong and fearless and not afraid to take risks in business.

Small businesses, you can give them capital, but what they often need as much is mentoring, advice and help with their business plan.

People might think writing is a hard business, but it's nowhere near acting.
