More quotes by Anita Roddick
You've got to be hungry - for ideas, to make things happen and to see your vision made into reality
Anita Roddick
We were most creative when our back was against the wall.
Anita Roddick
It is a critical job of any entrepreneur to maximize creativity, and to build the kind of atmosphere around you that encourages people to have ideas. That means open structures, so that accepted thinking can be challenged.
Anita Roddick
Consumers have not been told effectively enough that they have huge power and that purchasing and shopping involve a moral choice.
Anita Roddick
If I can't do something for the public good, what the hell am I doing?
Anita Roddick
The next time you go shopping, demand more change.
Anita Roddick
Retiring isn't even a word I'd understand. Taking what makes you feel alive, and everyone's looking for ways of making them feel alive, in whatever they do - relationships, business or work - and not just being a voice for a money making business.
Anita Roddick
We are honest about our methods and our mistakes. We are not perfect - it isn't possible to be perfect - but we are trying to go in the right direction and in those circumstances, it's best not to mystify what we are trying to do.
Anita Roddick
When you run an entrepreneurial business, you have hurry sickness - you don't look back, you advance and consolidate. But it is such fun
Anita Roddick
I am aware that success is more than a good idea. It is timing too.
Anita Roddick
To run this business ... you need ... optimism, humanism, enthusiasm, intuition, curiosity, love, humour, magic and fun, and that secret ingredient-euph oria.
Anita Roddick
We have our values from the church, the temple, the mosque. Do not rob, do not murder. But our behaviour changes the minute we go into the corporate place. Suddenly all of this is irrelevant.
Anita Roddick
To succeed you have to believe in something with such a passion that it becomes a reality.
Anita Roddick
The money that we make from the company goes into The Body Shop Foundation, which isn't one of those awful tax shelters like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.
Anita Roddick
Not all revolutionaries set out to change the world per se some set out to change their own worlds. And in so doing, they often change the way one person, or a few people, or whole communities, or entire nations or the world thinks and operates in some significant way.
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
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
Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.
Anita Roddick
If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment.
Anita Roddick
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
