If we can put a man on the moon, we can make pantyhose comfortable.

We don't have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live, but it's important to be with our family and friends.

Most of us want to tell our coworkers or friends, or husbands or wives, our ideas. For what reason? We want validation. But I feel ideas are most vulnerable in their infancy. Out of love and concern, friends and family give all the reasons or objections on why [you] shouldn't do it. I didn't want to risk that.

Every time I went on stage I was so terrified I almost threw up.

My first account was Neiman Marcus. I cold-called them just like I had cold-called businesses when I was selling fax machines for seven years.

Where I get my energy is: 'How can I make it better'?

Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.
