She’s so brilliant, she really, really is! She’s just
hilariously funny, and we have a great time
together, so its just a matter of balancing
me being a mother, and then having to go to
work, because sometimes mummy’s have to
work and we can’t all be at home, all of the
time. You just try your best and try to apply
yourself to each thing as best you can and
fingers crossed that it’s all alright? [laughs]
R: In the next year I hope to be a mum, but
as a full time editor I am worried…
Oh wow, are you planning or already
pregnant?
R: Well, I have an upcoming wedding in June,
so we will see what happens after! Do you
have any advice for working mums?
Just don’t beat yourself up to much; you’re
going feel guilty by not spending every single
second with your child, whether awake or
asleep. You have to work, its not like the days
where the man went to work and the woman
stayed at home and shook him a cocktail at
the end of the day – those days are long gone.
I like working, I enjoy working and if you do
too, you should incorporate that into being
part of your life and not worry about it too
much.
R: I think its tough being a woman… even
having to change your surname…
Well you don’t have to [laughs] there’s no law
against that!
R: True, I think I’ll keep my surname for
business purposes only [laughs] I have
noticed your songs are so empowering and
embrace strong women – is that something
you will continue to do?
Yes! Absolutely I am all about that. I am one
of three sisters as I said earlier I have lots
of girlfriends. I am so passionate about it,
you cannot tell me that we are inadequate
or not as good, it’s the complete opposite
and we have some amazing strengths. There
is nothing that we cannot achieve and I will
challenge anyone who dares to disagree!
