All I need as payment is a smile. That just really pushes me forward so that I'm always capturing the next opportunity to develop myself.

Never give up. The bankers and financial people did not take me seriously initially. Everyone thought I would fail. My attitude was that 'No' is an unacceptable answer when it comes to financing.

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.

Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them.

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

Good enough never is. Set your standards so high that even the flaws are considered excellent.
