I am always asking myself how I can improve the lives of my customers, my colleagues, my shareholders, my family and my friends.

I always disagreed with the separation of the name and the brand and the person To build on that name and brand is one thing. To divorce the name and the brand from the person was not an approach that I agreed with.

The subject matter that I am really spending my time on has become an acceptable subject matter. Living, lifestyle, family, is now in the forefront of interest in America, and I've just stuck with it. I mean, I've been doing this for years, and I never got angry. I never said, you know, listen, I'm fighting for this subject. That wasn't my point. My point was to continue working in a subject matter, knowing full well that finally it would be recognized as a viable subject once again.

I'm not supposed to say it, but I was not guilty of any crime. I became a target because I was a strong and a rich woman who had been very successful.

I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.

You have to focus on what's important to you and go for it. But don't stab people in the back. It poisons your whole life if you're like that.

It is within everyone's grasp to be a CEO.
