You're not learning anything unless you're having the difficult conversations.
Gwyneth Paltrow
If your role is to mentor somebody, what you're essentially doing is taking stock of what you've learned, the mistakes you've made, the successes you've had, and you kind of coalesce them and then you translate them back out.
Gwyneth Paltrow

I think the most clear, direct way to empowerment is to really know yourself and to really use your voice and to not be afraid of other people's reactions.
Gwyneth Paltrow
I really don't like drunk women I think it is such a bad look. I think it's very inappropriate and I don't like it. I don't really have drunk friends.
Gwyneth Paltrow
