It's important that women support women. It gives me a great sense of well-being to know that I can make a difference in people's lives.

Don't ever lose sight of who you are and your own power.

Don't rest on your laurels. There's always going to be someone behind you who's going to be better than you. So you need to get out there and keep working.

It's important to give back to people.

There are a lot of male egos out there that cannot deal with highly successful women. And it's their problem.

Don't stop setting your sights high because of some young guy.

When people say no to me, I say, "Don't say no to me. There is a waywe can work this out."
