I've had many mentors, but the one that has the most impact was my mother.

As I've progressed in my career, I've come to appreciate - and really value - the other attributes that define a company's success beyond the P&L: great leadership, long-term financial strength, ethical business practices, evolving business strategies, sound governance, powerful brands, values-based decision-making.

Kids are pretty resilient. You don't have to be at every volleyball game. We can't guilt ourselves.

My mother was pragmatic, focused and extremely, exceedingly practical, and she was the ultimate self-determining person.

Clearly define what success means for you. Set short-term and quarterly career goals with your manager that will help lead you to your long term goals.

It's really hard juggling, trying to carve out a time to have a family and be a mom and have a career, especially a creative career.

I'm a fan of odd meters. For example, I've decided to sing 'No Business Like Show Business,' but I'll be doing it in constantly changing 5/4, 7/4 and 11/4 time signatures. I've found a way to make that work.

The way I've approached my career, I've always tried to be pretty good at everything. I think if you ask players about my game, they would say I'm pretty good at everything, but I don't think they'd say I'm the best at certain things. Maybe that's my strength, not having a serious weakness or many weaknesses. I just try and be solid.
