Dylan Lauren

“Being in meetings - that feels like work. But finding candy, being in the store - that's fun, and it drives me.”

“I don't like sitting still at a desk and often conduct business on my Blackberry or in walking meetings.”

“I'll offset neutral shades with bright colors. It helps me stand out without looking cartoonish.”

“If you're running a race, and you're looking at the lane to your right or your left, you're gonna trip instead of... focusing forward.”

“My husband proposed to me on the beach using candy.”

“Watching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired.”

“I always saw candy as art.”

“When I think of flavours, I think colour, so lemon should be yellow and orange is orange.”

“My parents were inspired by Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas when naming me. They specifically saved this masculine name for their only girl.”

“I love Janet Jackson and her creative set design.”

“I don't read a lot of books but love magazines like 'Psychology Today.' It's great for getting quick facts.”

“So much of what we decide to carry in our stores is based on what we hear through the Dylan's Candy Bar Facebook Page and Twitter feeds.”

“It's inspiring to watch people love my dad and want to work with him. I feel that same investment in making sure people are happy.”

“It's important for me to eat really healthy because I have such a sweet tooth. I eat fish and vegetables for lunch and dinner, and I work out every day.”

“I write for 'Self' magazine sometimes.”

“I believe dancing is the best stress reliever.”
