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

Failure to me became not trying versus not succeeding

Courage is doing something despite the fear, and I've worked hard on being a courageous person.

I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long, people would rip up my business card in my face. It's a humbling business to be in. But I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I cut the feet out of those pantyhose and I knew I was on to something. This was it.

My saddlebags are why Spanx exist! Now that I have a baby I also have a muffin top.

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

It's important to be willing to make mistakes. The worst thing that can happen is you become memorable.
