I've lectured at the Harvard Business School several times.

I don't think about financial success as the measurement of my success.

I had higher math SATs than in English - yet I became an English major in college.

I came to Playboy not expecting to stay. But after five years, I found myself really enjoying the business world, and I realized I had some skill.

I had an allowance, but I had to do things around the house to earn it. I think I always wanted my own money.

Even though money seems such an objective topic, it can also be the most intimate, and possibly harmful, part of a relationship.

At the very beginning, I said my life and Playboy are a Rorschach test. It's a culmination of the dreams and fantasies and prejudices you bring to the table

Not only did I enjoy the creative side of Playboy and enjoy being surrounded by people who are curious about life, but I also love the analytical and hard business side of it.

Half of my employees are women.

Being a CEO still means sitting across the table from big institutional investors and showing your leadership and having them believe in you.

I developed a great sense of self-confidence when I was very young.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

Black funeral dress. Black heels. Black headband in my hair. Death has a style all it's own. I'm glad I don't have to wear it very often.

Wind blew snow crystals back and forth between the graves. The ancient pines creaked overhead.

Tears are akin to prayer - Pharisees parade prayers, imposters parade tears.

Love is not something people feel, but something people try to express no matter how they feel.

Maybe you are the key to revival in your church.

If you don't have the roots somewhere, it's very difficult for people to work with you. Because you are a different person from them. They don't know you, really. They don't know how you feel.

Somebody will be upset and say I got rich and deserted my female people; No offense, but the only black woman I ever loved is my mama.

Being from Staten Island and Brooklyn, I'm used to eating pasta and meatballs every single day.
