The greatest failure is not to try. Had I listened to all the people during the course of my life who said, "You can't. You'll fail. It won't work. You don't have...," I wouldn't be here today.

No is an unacceptable answer. I'm allergic to no.

I get very excited when I wake up in the morning and I am just full of oxygen.

I feel like any time I'm doing what I love, my big pay-off is watching somebody else be the receiver.

We knew we loved making cookies and every time we did, we made people happy. That was our business plan.

I use nothing but the best ingredients. My cookies are always baked fresh. I price cookies so that you cannot make them at home for any less. And I still give cookies away.

What really fueled me, and maybe infuriated me, is that nobody believed in me. Nobody. I don't even think I believe in myself.
