Then I realised that you have to be more alert now.”

We can be nicer to each other, I just feel that. As an industry we are a family, we might fight, but whatever happens in the industry, should remain in the industry. I just feel that the industry should get more agility, there should be more solidarity. Otherwise there are amazing people.”
