I am definitely in the right place doing the right thing. These are the rewards.

The first job I got when I was in high school was working for a department store in New York. I worked in the stockroom. That's when I learned that I couldn't work for anyone else, because I was spoken to in a way that I wasn't spoken to at home.

I have worked with a lot of different great people. One of the things my partner, my manager Judy Weinstein, instilled in [David] Morales and myself is that the quality goes in before the name goes home.

I am definitely in the right place doing the right thing. These are the rewards.

I think women's ears are a lot more sensitive. Men are going to follow whatever appeals to women.

Timing is everything. It is not so much about who you know, especially now with the Internet, because anybody can become a superstar overnight.

There is always a point in the party where I wouldn't say I have people in the palm of my hands, but when there is a point in the evening... if you have been to any great party, you know when the whole room becomes one.
