The bigger you grow, the more intimate communication has to be. It almost has to be belly and belly.

I don't think I'm a risk-taker. I don't think any entrepreneur is. I think that's one of those myths of commerce.

Other companies would say I'm taking risks, but that's my path - it doesn't feel like risk to me.

The trouble with the new world we have watched being created over the past decade is that it sees no further than money. People have always been obsessed with money, of course - greed is as old as history. But when the institutions that govern all our lives forget there was ever anything else, then it gets dangerous.
Anita Roddick
There are only two ways of making money: the hard way and the very hard way!
Anita Roddick
I think the leadership of a company should encourage the next generation not just to follow, but to overtake.
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
