I Knew That I Wanted To Start

When I Was Growing Up, My Dad Would Encourage My Brother And I To Fail. We Would Be Sitting At The Dinner Table And He Would Ask, 'so What Did You Guys Fail At This Week?' If We Didn't Have Something To Contribute, He Would Be Disappointed. When I Did Fail At Something, He'd High-five Me. What I Didn't Realize At The Time Was That He Was Completely Reframing My Definition Of Failure At A Young Age. To Me, Failure Means Not Trying; Failure Isn't The Outcome. If I Have To Look At Myself In The Mirror And Say, 'i Didn't Try That Because I Was Scared,' That Is Failure.

It's Important To Be Willing To Make Mistakes. The Worst Thing That Can Happen Is You Become Memorable.

Don't Be Intimidated By What You Don't Know.

I've Always Leaned Toward A Feminine, Funky Style, Even In Business Settings. I Used To Paint My Nails Blue In 1993, Before It Was Mainstream.

Every Time I Went On Stage I Was So Terrified I Almost Threw Up.
