My business doesn't keep me warm at night.

I have failed so much, but I have learned so much more in life from my failures than my successes.

If you are wasting time and energy trying to be as much like everyone else as you can, you are throwing away something precious: your individuality. When you embrace your difference, your DNA, your look or heritage or religion or your unusual name, that’s when you start to shine.

New York City is my playground.

If I am not with my daughter, that's when all my meetings happen. That's when I get right on a plane. That's when I go and do my book tour. When I am with her, it's just all with her.

Let's be clear, I'm a strong woman.

Depriving yourself will, ironically enough, lead to rebelling and weight gain.
