01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Don't chase after something that you're chasing. Things will happen the way that they're meant to happen. Sometimes it's a complete accident, and you don't ever meant for it to be this way, but things have to take place the way that they have to happen in order for you to ultimately get where you're meant to be.
