“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.”

Hiring great people is almost the most important thing you can do as a leader because they enable you to scale, and they create better leverage for you and your time.

My father represents a very interesting challenge to the Republican party. I think this is taking people by surprise. (But) I think that’s why he’s so welcomed by the American voters, because they want somebody who says what they are thinking.

Success isn’t something that happens to you; you happen to it.

I try not to be too hard on myself. My husband reminds me that life is a marathon, not a sprint.

I’ve never lived in a building without my name on it.

I like very strong guys. Successful guys. Not necessarily financially.

It’s important to be honest with and respectful of each other and deal with issues as they arrive, as opposed to letting them simmer.

Be passionate. If you are passionate, you will ultimately succeed.

People underestimate me, and that’s fine. I prefer to go into negotiations being underestimated.

Working in a family business, which obviously The Trump Organization is, is an incredible thing, but it’s complicated. It’s complex.

I was in total shock. I work so close [to home] that I figured I’d return to work and the baby nurse would bring the baby to me, and I’d run home periodically, and I’d make it work. But every two hours? That’s a whole other level. I’ll have to make a nursery at the office.

It’s important to get in the habit of growing as a human being, developing and refining leadership and management skills and entrepreneurial instincts and changing to accommodate the times.

The issues in America are so big, and the problems are enormously complicated. But I am incredibly confident in Donald Trump to be able to execute on his promise to the people who elected him.

A scale is only in balance for a brief second. Inevitably the pendulum swings. It’s impossible to maintain.

Modeling was not an endgame for me. I didn’t particularly enjoy the act of it.

New media is an amazing form of direct marketing in that you really get a sense of who your customer is, and you also get to know those people who may not be your customers yet but are aspirational and are hoping to be.

I have the reputation of being easygoing. But inside, I’m like nails. I will kill.

I thought about how easily we are all brainwashed by our society and culture to stop thinking and just assume by default that more money equals more success and more happiness, when ultimately happiness is really just about enjoying life.

I saw for the first time the earth’s shape. I could easily see the shores of continents, islands, great rivers, folds of the terrain, large bodies of water. The horizon is dark blue, smoothly turning to black. The feelings which filled me I can express with one word-joy.

We forget very easily what gives us pain.

Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.

The secret of the team’s success is easy – unity and hard work.

How empowering it is to easily cut toxic connections.

It is not easy to convey, unless one has experienced it, the dramatic feeling of sudden enlightenment that floods the mind when the right idea finally clinches into place.
