I like being behind the scene.

Sometimes women entrepreneurs are their own challenge, [in terms of] believing in themselves. There is no need to apologise for being ambitious.

Ambition is not a four-letter word and women have to embrace that.

Each job I had wasn't necessarily the perfect job, but I always talk to young women about how you really have to take certain things from each job and learn from that and then move on to something you really want to do.

There’s always a stigma attached to the word ‘ambition’ and women. I’ve embraced it. Ambition is NOT a four-letter word and women have to embrace that.

My company is an extension of me, so when I designed my stores I wanted people to feel that they were in my home.

I wanted to create a new way of looking at retail.
