It is male-chauvinistic industry, and there's still a long way to go for the female-centric genre to come to the fore.

People still make all sorts of assumptions about me. I've just gone past the point of caring.

I was almost on the verge of studying medicine. But then, I realised I would have to give up singing. That is when it dawned on me that I could have a career in music.

I personally think the male and female roles have changed dramatically in the past few decades. Men are no longer the breadwinners. Financial independence for a woman is a huge thing.

The world around me has changed, and I have learned to adapt but not change. But I'm changing into the woman I am meant to be.

It's never too late - never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.

When someone chooses to value herself over the things she can buy, true transformation begins.

Early investors in Uber and Airbnb, though they remain private companies, have valued them at stratospheric multiples based largely on the notion that Uber will transform and dominate local transportation and Airbnb will revolutionize the hotel industry.
