We have these conversations when girls say that they want to make a career in modelling. And their parents say, what rubbish you are wasting your time. I want to tell a lot of parents that don’t think that you can’t make a career out of it. It’s a proper full-fledged career. I have made a career out of it and so have many others. It opens up so many various opportunities and avenues.”
