I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.

I deplore the shying away that can go on, within women, from the term 'feminist.' I am, absolutely, all about being a feminist.

Out of discomfort comes greatness.

I had a high-flying career. Never wanted to get married. All I wanted to do was have some fun.

If I ran the world, I would find a way to bring the wealth of human good intentions and corporate good intentions together - to activate them collectively into shared action against shared objectives that produces shared hard, tangible results.

Despite their good intentions, today's businesses are missing an opportunity to integrate social responsibility and day-to-day business objectives - to do good and make money simultaneously.

I like to describe myself as a proudly visible member of the most invisible segments of our society - older women.
