So much of what we view as sexy, and has been sexy for as long as we can remember… it’s always been about the focus of what does the man find sexy in a woman? When you try to be sexy, without even knowing it, you’re probably doing something that you literally are subconsciously just doing, because you know that that’s what a guy will find sexy. So for me, every time, it’s about figuring out a way to take that power back. It’s not about you who’s watching. It’s not about you! It’s not about what you want from me, what I can offer you. It’s about what I have, what I love and what I enjoy, and allowing myself to share that.

Pull quote from Ida's episode, that reads, 'You are not your stage persona. You are a whole human being. Your value is not tied up to what gigs you've done or... how many bullet points have you got on your CV.'
