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
Be courageous. It's one of the only places left uncrowded.

If you really didn't ever want to get wrinkles, then you should have stopped smiling years ago!
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
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
There are a lot of dark sides to success, but the light side of it is the ability to be opportunistic, and to be able to do things.
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.

You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message.
