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

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.

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

They use force, to make you do, what the deciders, have decided you must do.

Our fears find us and force us to confront them over and over again.

A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.

The only watchmaker is the blind forces of physics.

The time when you should most of all withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

You may force me to say what you wish; you may revile me for saying what I do. But it moves.

Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.
