There was no active, conscious decision-making point, just a gradual realization over time that I'm very happy minus children and marriage.

Anyone who has worked with me knows that I am extremely action-oriented. I'm all about making things happen.

Women challenge the status quo because we are never it.

I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions.

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.

Fear of what other people will think is the single most paralyzing dynamic in business and in life. The best moment of my lifewas the day I realized that I know longer give a damn what anybody thinks. That's enormously liberating and freeing, and it's the only way to live your life and do your business.

I like to stand out and make a statement.
