I knew that I wanted to start my own business. I knew that I wanted to work for myself. I was no stranger to the word no. You just have to keep going.

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

I couldn't figure out what to wear under my clothes. The body shapers were too thick at the time.

I grew up in a house where my father encouraged my brother and me to fail. I specifically remember coming home and saying, 'Dad, Dad, I tried out for this or that and I was horrible,' and he would high-five me and say, 'Way to go.'

I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way, it is about answering to yourself.

I didn't want women to walk out of the dressing rooms feeling depressed and wanting a cocktail.

What you don’t know can be your greatest asset.
