More quotes by Anita Roddick
Advertising beauty products is easy. All you have to do is revile your customers by creating a disease called getting older, and then provide a remedy which does not work.
Anita Roddick
At The Body Shop we had always been measured by how many jobs we had created, and I got a major award from the Queen on that.
Anita Roddick
Irritation is a great source of energy and creativity.
Anita Roddick
Internationalism means that we can see into the dark corners of the world, and hold those companies to account when they are devastating forests or employing children as bonded labour. Globalization is the complete opposite, its rules pit country against country and workers against workers in the blinkered pursuit of international competitiveness.
Anita Roddick
I think it is completely immoral for a shop to trade in the middle of a community, to take money and make profits from that community and then ignore the existence of that community, its needs and problems.
Anita Roddick
I have always found that my view of success has been iconoclastic: success to me is not about money or status or fame, its about finding a livelihood that brings me joy and self-sufficiency and a sense of contributing to the world.
Anita Roddick
If I can't do something for the public good, what the hell am I doing?
Anita Roddick
The movement for the environment really only started in the mid 1970's.
Anita Roddick
I don't want to be defined by being the founder of the Body Shop, and I don't want to be defined as a woman suffering from Hepatitis C. There's more to my life than that.
Anita Roddick
You persuade people with passion, so you've got to have a product or service you feel emotionally charged about. Then you can tell stories about it that will inspire others.
Anita Roddick
I have no interest in being the biggest, the most profitable or the largest retailer. I just want The Body Shop to be the best, most breathlessly exciting company - and one that changes the way business is carried out.
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
Any business or enterprise that shaves away loneliness is going to last forever. And like it or not but we've got a lonely society.
Anita Roddick
The business of business should not be about money. It should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed
Anita Roddick
There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.
Anita Roddick
We can't have self-government without the self-confidence that is at the root of it.
Anita Roddick
When you take the high moral road it is difficult for anyone to object without sounding like a complete fool.
Anita Roddick
I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses and made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently . . . This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.
Anita Roddick
To me the desire to create and to have control over your own life, irrespective of the politics of the time or social structures, has always been a part of the human spirit. What I did not fully realize was that work could open the doors to my heart.
Anita Roddick
You've got to be hungry - for ideas, to make things happen and to see your vision made into reality
