Everywhere I go, I always look for creative entrepreneurs, whether it's artisans and craftsmen, small farmers and gardeners, or restaurateurs who use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.

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 live in an old house with no closets and no built-ins. I hate big cupboards.

Buttons are the fossils of the sartorial world, enduring long past the garments they were designed to hold together.

Giving information that will help everybody live better. That's a teacher's dream - to accumulate information and disperse it in a form that allows people to choose the way they're going to use it. That's what I think I do best.

Really try to find a job where it's fun to get up and get out the door, no matter what time.

I want you to know that I am innocent - and that I will fight to clear my name.
