Communication is the key for any global business.

I'm an activist and I come from a very socialist background. For me, my thinking was formed by great thought leaders. And wealth preserving wasn't part of my thinking.

My mother's bottom line was truth to her values. It meant bringing your heart and your humanity to work.

To me the desire to create and to have control over your own life, irrespective of the politics of the time or social structures, has always been a part of the human spirit. What I did not fully realize was that work could open the doors to my heart.

I can't bear to be around people who are bland or bored or uninterested (or to employ them).

Don't underestimate the power of the vigilante consumer.
