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

We have to move from making good advertising, to making advertising good.

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.

My personal cause and platform, if you like, is women's rights and women's issues.

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

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 design my start-up ventures around my own personal beliefs and values.
