The beauty and the fashion industry want to control you. And the way that they do it through your body. So once they control your body they control your purse and the products you buy. Its a fantastic strategy and it's working.

More quotes by 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
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
There are only two ways of making money: the hard way and the very hard way!
Anita Roddick
When your back is against the wall financially, creative juices flow.
Anita Roddick
You can't change t he wor ld f rom t he rear view mir ror.
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 can wake up one morning and find that the technology of this virtual, inter-connected world wasn't the liberating force we thought, but binds us ever more tightly under the control of the money men.
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
If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.
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
the leaders of globalization ... have tied themselves to a single measurement by which they judge success and failure ... They only measure money and the bottom line.
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
The growth of The Body Shop is testimony to the fact that you don't need to waste money on costly advertising campaigns to be successful. Instead, we've always relied on word of mouth and stories.
Anita Roddick
We are essentially outsiders and that is the best definition of an entrepreneur I have ever come across.
Anita Roddick
It is true that there is a fine line between entrepreneurship and insanity. Crazy people see and feel things that others don't. But you have to believe that everything is possible. If you believe it, those around you will believe it too.
Anita Roddick
I think that business practices would improve immeasurably if they were guided by feminine pinciples, qualities like love, care, and intuition.
Anita Roddick
Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses, who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics, and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer.
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
A vision is something you see and others don't. Some people would say that's a pocket definition of lunacy. But it also defines entrepreneurial spirit.
Anita Roddick
If you don't believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.
