Don't wait until you are perfect to change the world.

I thought I had to show people that I would get in early, stay late or even all night, work on holidays. I didn't want to be the rich kid who was along for a free ride.

My definition of success? Being the kind of woman that I would want to have as a friend.

Don't wait until you are perfect to change the world.

People think, 'Oh my goodness! I have to do something really big.' You don't. Do what you love. There's a great quote from a poet I use all the time: 'Instead of asking what the world needs, ask yourself what you love,' because what the world needs is more people doing what they love.

I like cookies, any cookie you put in front of me - animal cookies, sugar cookies, anything crunchy.
