Intervieweur : Vous êtes fière de ce que vous avez fait? Ah oui, je ne changerais rien. Malgré les périodes peut-être plus difficiles, j'ai eu une carrière bien remplie. Mes objectifs de carrière c'était de faire une carrière, comme on peut dire complète, j'aurais aimé continuer à monter dans les rangs, mais la vie en a fait différent. Par contre, je ne regrette rien et je ne changerais rien, parce que je suis fière de ce que j'ai fait.
