And you're young.
I had just turned 16.
Which is amazing.
And you go to model initially in Italy.

It was amazing because it was escape.
I wasn't expecting that.
Escapism.
Oh, okay.
I could escape.

Go and make a life for yourself.

What was it like once you got that opportunity and you were out in the world sort of living it at 16?
