I went to a woman for advice about how to be in business, but I learned a great deal from men

I don't see it as a risk, I see it as living.

I'm generally competing with the ideal I have set for myself, and I've found that served me very well

I'm about to become a member of the Chemists Society of America. I'm very proud of that

I enjoy speaking to other women about turning 50, and how we can enjoy it, and how we can explore it

I arrived in California with no job, no car, and no money, but, like millions of other girls, a dream

Don't strive to be perfect. Strive for excellence.
