There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.
Anita Roddick
You've got so many groups that have no voice in this world - the indigenous, the poor. So how can I use the resources that I have and bring them up, highlight them. And it's not that difficult. It's just choosing and concentrating and focusing.
Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick
The next time you go shopping, demand more change.
Anita Roddick
A great advantage I had when I started The Body Shop was that I had never been to business school.
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.
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
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
If I can't do something for the public good, what the hell am I doing?
Anita Roddick
Being good is good business
