Feminism doesn't have a particularly constructive image, although I think there was time when it was relevant.

I don't exactly know the moment that I was a millionaire but it was in my twenties.

The minute I think 'Oh God, I don't want to do this because I'm scared,' is the moment I have to do something, whatever it is.

I don't spend a lot of time worrying about how I look and I don't fall into the trap of judging myself by my appearance.

I am not just sitting in my office making deals all the time.

I'm very direct, I don't believe in wasting time, in wasting words.

I need quite a lot going on, so a perfect holiday for me is one in a cooler climate with wonderful scenery, animals or great architecture.
