I think that business practices would improve immeasurably if they were guided by "feminine" pinciples, qualities like love, care, and intuition.

I believe that conventional marketing techniques are increasingly ineffective. Customers are hyped out. They have been overmarketed. They are becoming more cynical about the whole advertising and marketing process.

Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.

Women are storytellers, they are communicators. They'll go and sit around a table and talk about their first date, their first smoke, their first lipstick, whatever it is. Those rituals of life, marriages and death aren't part of the language of men.

If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.

Irritation is a great source of energy and creativity.
