When I say women are the agents of change, I really should say women and girls.

Telling lies and showing off to get attention are mistakes I made that I don't want my kids to make.

It's never too late - never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.

Look what scares you in the face and try to understand it. Empathy is revolutionary.

Women are rising. And I think that's all the violence and war - it could be the last gasp of the patriarchy, actually.

What I learned is, we have to listen to each other, even when we don't agree, even when we think we hate each other. We have to listen to each others narratives. Not interrupt defensively, or with hostility, but really try to open our hearts and listen with empathy. I learned so much from that meeting. It was a very difficult thing to do and it was one of the best things that I ever did in my life. Look what scares you in the face, and try to understand it. Empathy, I have learned, is revolutionary.

Seek women mentors. If you're a businesswoman, look at the TEDx conferences. There's a lot of businesswomen that speak on there. I find them extremely inspiring.
