Being good enough never is.

Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them.

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.

When you're taking care of the customer, you can never do too much. And there is no wrong way... if it comes from the heart.

I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience.

True buoyant leaders can never communicate in percentage points, or charts and figures. First and foremost, they must be storytellers, communicating with their hearts, not heads.

Today, I'm very happy about myself, because I realized my dreams. I learned how to understand what people want.

If we hold the married man accountable for finances gone legally awry, then the married woman should be held accountable for children who go awry.
