A cookie store is a bad idea. Besides, the market research reports say America likes crispy cookies, not soft and chewy cookies like you make.

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance.

You have to have passion when you're finding a recipe for a career. If you love what you are doing, you'll never work a day in your life.

I get very excited when I wake up in the morning and I am just full of oxygen. I say that purposefully. I try not to take for granted how lucky we are to have life and breath and opportunity. Once we've got that, we can conquer anything. Truly, I get high on oxygen, and once I graduate from that, what really fulfills me is doing what I love. That, to me, is absolutely priceless.

The easiest thing any of us can do is give up. It doesn't matter how many no's you go through.

I really do believe that there's no such thing as coincidence. People come into our lives for a reason.

I use my experience, my failures, my successes, and help people stay focused.
