As long as women are bound by poverty and as long as they are looked down upon, human rights will lack substance. As long as outmoded ways of thinking prevent women from making a meaningful contribution to society, progress will be slow.

It's difficult because we live in a world that doesn't really respect the creative and intellectual contributions of women. It's more like 'Oh, you're so cute. Be quiet. Shhh, don't talk too much.

Powerful women are a threat in any society which is why I am such a target.

Very successful people say no to almost everything.

The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.

The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.
