I wanted to create a new way of looking at retail.

When I started my company, many people said I shouldn't launch it as a retail concept because it was too big a risk. They told me to launch as a wholesaler to test the waters - because that was the traditional way.

One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

I'm always looking for something new: a new inspiration, a new philosophy, a new way to look at something, new talent.

Entrepreneurs have a great ability to create change, be flexible, build companies and cultivate the kind of work environment in which they want to work.

I mean, moderation, not deprivation. That's my new way of living.
