“I was never an ingenue, thank God; always character.”

“I think a spell abroad for anybody is incredibly useful. It gives you a great sense of perspective, and you see other ways of doing things.”

“Moving abroad brings you on both as a player and a person.”

“After having grown the brand and elevating the overall reputation of TFC both at home and abroad, it seems I no longer serve a purpose.”
