More quotes by Anita Roddick
We communicate with passion and passion persuades.
Anita Roddick
The aging process is fascinating because it doesn't disturb me, because this is what it is supposed to be like. But I'll tell you what does - it's the lack of strength - you can't hold up suitcases and do it yourself. Loss of physical strength.

Anita Roddick

Business is not financial science, it's about trading.. buying and selling. It's about creating a product or service so good that people will pay for it.
Anita Roddick
It's about creating a product or service so good that people will pay for it. Now 30 years on The Body Shop is a multi local business with over 2.045 stores serving over 77 million customers in 51 different markets in 25 different languages and across 12 time zones. And I haven't a clue how we got here!
Anita Roddick
If you can shape your business life or your working life, you can just look at it as another extension - you just fulfill all your values as a human being in the work place. If you are an activist, you bring the activism of your life into your business, or if you love creative art, you can bring that in.
Anita Roddick
The freedom that comes with globalization is freedom for the rich and powerful nations to further exploit and further marginalize those at the bottom of the social ladder.
Anita Roddick
There has been a real influence on young people, whose travel is experiential. For them, their values change when their experiences change travel is like a university without walls.
Anita Roddick
Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.
Anita Roddick
My argument is: keep the bloody bottom line at the bottom. That's where it should be.
