I always joke and say I want to invent a comfortable stiletto and then retire.

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

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

I'd never worked in fashion or retail. I just needed an undergarment that didn't exist.

My advice for an entrepreneur just starting out is to differentiate yourself. Why are you different? What’s important about you? Why does the customer need you?

I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course.

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.
