If you think you can, then you’re half way there. If you say, ‘I can’t,’ then you’re defeated.

Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them.

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.

When you're taking care of the customer, you can never do too much. And there is no wrong way... if it comes from the heart.

I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience.

Good enough never is. Set your standards so high that even the flaws are considered excellent.

A cookie store is a bad idea. Besides, the market research reports say America likes crispy cookies, not soft and chewy cookies like you make.

It's never too late - not now, not ever - for you to pursue your passion.

What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best - which I believed then and believe now is the greatest privilege there is. When I did that, success found me.

The greatest failure is not to try. Had I listened to all the people during the course of my life who said, "You can't. You'll fail. It won't work. You don't have...," I wouldn't be here today.

There are people out there who want to say yes. That gave me confidence to keep asking.

At home, they'd clipped my wings and then caged me so I couldn't fall. Here, they bandaged one another's broken wings, helped each other fly.

In raising my children, I have lost my mind but found my soul.

Once a month, for one evening, we are free to wear our natural skins. We are on the outside as we are internally.

It's good (Michelle Malkin's) in D.C. and I'm in New York. I'd spit on her if I saw her.

You think it's all written, but it's not. There's always another way to twist those three chords around.

Taking 1,000 meetings attempting to get backing to do clothing.

Rest against my heart. Let me watch over your dreams. And know that tomorrow morning, and every morning after that, you'll awaken next to someone who loves you.

The day I get too big for myself, my mum will slap me down!

Hell is truth seen too lateduty neglected in its season.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
