“I am very proud of my father and what he’s accomplished. It is amazing.”

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.

To the extent I can, I try to maintain a laser focus on what needs to get done from a priority standpoint. And not just from an urgency standpoint, but from a value-added standpoint. So where can I add the most value? Where is my time best spent?

I think my mom threatened to put me up for adoption a few times.

My father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is color blind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period.

Those who have accomplished the greatest results are those who never grow excited or lose self-control, but are always calm, self-possessed, patient and polite.

You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome to reach your goals.

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.

One never accomplishes the will of God by breaking the law of God, violating the principles of God, or ignoring the wisdom of God.

Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible.

I go to bed every night and the list of what I’ve accomplished is astounding.

I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.

All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.
