We have no intention of failing. The only question is how great a success we'll have.

As long as you are going to be thinking anyway, think big.

I wasn't satisfied just earning a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

I have also made this a point in our company: We need to stop taking baby steps and start thinking globally. It really seems to be helping.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them...But when I say I'm going to do something, I have to do it.
