I think when I was on the corporate ladder, it was very difficult to maintain the hours. It's a little easier when you have you're an entrepreneur.

One of the reasons I wanted to start a company is because I wanted an environment that I wanted to work in. I wanted people to be able to have a life - for it to be OK to leave for a lacrosse game or a doctor's appointment. So I think women do work differently; it's important to have both men and women. They offer different things.

It's very passe to think women want to spend a fortune on clothes.

I wanted stores that would feel like a comfortable room in my apartment, cozy and colorful and different.

I think women want to look beautiful. I think that's an important thing. It is relevant.

Never underestimate the impact of a small act.

I wanted to help women and their families.
