More quotes by Anita Roddick
We can't have self-government without the self-confidence that is at the root of it.
Anita Roddick
The bigger you grow, the more intimate communication has to be. It almost has to be belly and belly. As you get bigger and bigger in an organization, everything gets more and more detached and everything is on email or voicemail. That's the worse thing because lack of intimacy is one of the downsides (of growth).
Anita Roddick
the function of wealth is not to accumulate it but to give it away as productively and responsibly as you can.
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
If you can shape your business life or your working life, you can just look at it as another extension - you just fulfill all your values as a human being in the work place. If you are an activist, you bring the activism of your life into your business, or if you love creative art, you can bring that in.
Anita Roddick
Globalization ... is the most important change in the history of mankind, and often just the latest name for the conspiracy of the rich against the poor.

Women want to be free to choose from the same range of options that men take for granted. In our quest for equal pay, equal access to education and opportunities, we have made great strides. But until women can move freely and think freely in their homes, on the streets, in the workplace without the fear of violence, there can be no real freedom.
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
Whatever you do, be different - that was the advice my mother gave me, and I can't think of better advice for an entrepreneur. If you're different, you will stand out.
Anita Roddick
We were most creative when our back was against the wall.
Anita Roddick
Cynicism is what passes for insight when courage is lacking
Anita Roddick
There are 3 billion women in the world who don't look like supermodels and only 8 that do.
Anita Roddick
I traveled enormously during the 1960's, when you measured everything by where you traveled and what you did as travelers.
Anita Roddick
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. The new entrepreneur is more values-led: you do what looks risky to other people because that's what your convictions tell you to do. Other companies would say I'm taking risks, but that's my path - it doesn't feel like risk to me.
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 market controls everything, but the market has no heart.
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
Three components make an entrepreneur: the person, the idea and the resources to make it happen.
Anita Roddick
I'd have opened a bloody library if I'd wanted to be quiet.
Anita Roddick
If you've got a partner that's supportive and you're doing something you enjoy it doesn't ever become a job or a burden. Its about community, new friendships, support mechanism.
