“I respect the fact that Donald Trump always listens. It’s how he was in business. It’s how he is as president.”

Fashion is meant to be fun.

In both business and personal life, I’ve always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.

If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I’m complicit.

I’ve never had a sense of entitlement. I saw how hard my father worked for his money, and it was always made very clear to me that things wouldn’t just be given to me.

Everything about mediocrity kills me.

Work is changing for men as much as it is for women.

I don’t own a blowdryer – I don’t know how to use it. Most mornings, I walk to work with my hair wet.

Truly saddened by the loss of one of the greatest fashion icons of all time. Oscar de la Renta will be greatly missed.

I generally wake up, exercise and read through a huge amount of newspapers. I get to the office somewhere between 7:30 and 8:00 – my brothers and I are always the first ones in.

I probably not as likely to say what’s on my mind, and I think most people aren’t. It’s not something I would want to always be doing. So that’s why I’m not a politician.

My mom grew up in the Soviet Bloc, and she was a Tiger Mom. We didn’t get away with much.

The beauty of America is people can do what they like.

I’m so grateful to my parents for my upbringing and for all of the opportunities that I was provided with, but I also learned at a young age that success is not given, it is earned and that has always been something that motivates me.

Politicians talk about wage equality, but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career. He will fight for equal pay for equal work, and I will fight for this too right alongside of him.

I hate having people sit in on meetings.

I think there are multiple ways to have your voice heard. In some cases, it’s through protest and it’s through going on the nightly news and talking about or denouncing every issue on which you disagree with. Other times it is quietly and directly and candidly.

Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I’ve met people who don’t want to try for fear of failing.

The best people want to work the big challenges.

If you’re afraid of failing you won’t get very far.

Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.

30% of all people will never believe you. Do not allow your colleagues and employees to work for you. Instead, let them work for a common goal.

Don’t think what’s the cheapest way to do it or what’s the fastest way to do it. Think what’s the most amazing way to do it.

Y’all know the secret now, stop searching and start creating.

If you have a different mindset, you will have a different outcome: if you make different choices from your peers, your life will then be different from your peers.
