I'm obsessed with the customer. I am the customer. I really don't think you can go wrong if you don't take your eye off of that. Serving the customer. How does she feel? I feel like the fashion industry has cared a lot about how we look but not about how we feel.

I started thinking about joy. Everything in our society is so purposeful. Let's bring joy back to the experience.

I made a conscious decision not to tell anyone in my life. Now I tell people - don't tell anyone your idea until you have invested enough of yourself in it that you are not going to turn back. When a person has an idea at that conception moment it is the most vulnerable - one negative comment could knock you off course.

I think my story says that, when women are given the chance and the opportunity, that we can achieve a lot. We deliver.

I've always leaned toward a feminine, funky style, even in business settings. I used to paint my nails blue in 1993, before it was mainstream.

Don't let what you don't know scare you, because it can become your greatest asset.

I feel like money makes you more of who you already are.
