I grew up thinking that whatever I wanted to do, I could do.

I believe that how you feel is very important to how you look - that healthy equals beautiful.

Unless we keep this planet healthy, everything else is for naught.

I got even with all the bad management I had by being a good manager

I try to treat people the way I would like to be treated, but I can't worry about what everyone's going to think.

No one can make me work harder than I do, so I'm generally not interested in who I am competing with.

Don't strive to be perfect. Strive for excellence.

When I started Victoria Principal Products, there were 22 full-time employees - they were all women

I'm generally competing with the ideal I have set for myself, and I've found that served me very well

When women work together, it's a bond unlike any other.

You can't be responsible for the way people respond to you. You're only responsible for yourself.

Once you break someone’s heart, you are forever its master.

Life is a gift. Regard it as such. Return the blessing through each life you touch. Every seed planted, springs forth new birth. Allow your bouquet to cover the earth.

If I had two breaths left in me, the first one I would use to tell you I miss you, and the second that I love you.

We have lived with violence far too long.

I was a snot-nosed teenage skater at one point, who listened to only punk records and hung around people that had that idea of what is okay to do and what isn't okay to do.

Our passions are the true phoenixes; when the old one is burnt out, a new one rises from its ashes.

Smile with instinct, then lick your wounds in the darkest of dark corners. Trace the scars back to your own fingers and remember them.

God has created the world in play, as it were.

We're a nation of laws, but the good thing about America, is that laws reside in the people and people can change the laws.

I've definitely taken a lot of consolation from animals in my life. There have been times when I've been really sad, and they gave solace and comfort and companionability more than a person.
