Failure is not the outcome - failure is not trying. Don't be afraid to fail.

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.

You’ve got to embrace what you don’t know.

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.

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 didn't like the way it looked in white trousers, and I couldn't find anything to work underneath them.
