I think very early on in life we all learn what we're good at and what we're not good at, and we stay where it's safe.

I shopped for body shapers for the first time in my life and I was horrified. They were thick - it was like wearing workout clothes and they all had a leg band on one side that showed through the pants.

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.

I aim to be pretty - I gave up dressing to be sexy in the eighties.

My husband is such a healthy eater. Except when it comes to sweets. He never consumes anything except fruit until noon. And then from noon on he might have some brown rice and some tofu, and then, come eight or nine at night, he orders three mud-pie double-chocolate pieces of cake and eats all three of them.

I pledge to invest in women because I believe it offers one of the greatest returns on investment. I am committed to the belief that we would all be in a much better place if half the human race (women) were empowered to prosper, invent, be educated, start their own businesses, run for office essentially be given the chance to soar.

Failure to me became not trying versus not succeeding
