Feed the alligators and you get bigger alligators.

Now it's somewhat easier for a woman to be a film producer or something like that if she wants, though it's not that easy. But to be any kind of successful woman took a lot of doing in the '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s... in the '70s it's getting simpler.

My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

Nearly every glamorous, wealthy, successful career woman you might envy now started out as some kind of schlep.

Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.

Do what's in front of you as well as possible. Keep going until you realize what you're best at.

The only thing that separates successful people from the ones who aren't is the willingness to work very, very hard.
