“We have to focus on what we can do. It has to be about experience; it has to be about unique product. It has to be about delivering our content as broadly as we can, and that's been a huge effort on our part.”

“My parents were like, 'Oh my God,' when I said I was going into fashion - they pictured me with a rolling rack on Seventh Avenue.”

“I've been 35 lbs. heavier than I am now and 25 lbs. thinner than I am now, and both of those times were probably the most miserable times of my life. I'm happier now, because it is about being healthy, not weighing yourself.”

“It seemed like I woke up one morning and had an epiphany. I thought, 'I cannot do this. I do not want to get married. And I'm not going to law school - it just doesn't excite me. I'm not wasting anybody's money. I'm going to move to New York.'”

“If you throw the pebble in the pond and the rings start circulating that much wider, you've done things and created things for people that they didn't think they'd ever be able to do. That excites me.”

“What I've been saying to people is, you need to think about mobile as your new flagship. It's the place everybody goes to first.”

“Content is power in today's world, and if you can own that content, create it and make interaction more of an experience than a transaction, you create a different kind of loyalty.”

“When people want to lose weight, they get to a point where they are desperate and looking for the new thing that is going to work miracles. But at the end of the day, there is no such thing.”

“When I first started at HSN, I knew that retailers would have to be poised to take advantage of technology and the rapidly changing ways in which people shop. It was one of the things that drew me to the company.”

“The proof is in the results, and the proof will be in the ongoing ability to execute.”

“I've always had a philosophy that position doesn't define power. Impact defines power. What impact are you making on people? What impact are you making on business?”

“We really see the future of what we call 'distributed commerce,' so how we get our content, our products, and our brands to consumers.”

“We need more enlightened women in senior ranks, and we have to insist that companies are more diverse.”

“HSN is uniquely positioned to present the seamless connection between media and commerce.”

“I have this whole theory that whether it's in your personal life or in your business life, you have to establish a culture of generosity wherever you are.”

“Throughout my career, no matter what I've done or what decision I've made, I've made it with my family first. My priority was taking care of my family while I was taking care of business.”

“Imagining what the possibilities are versus what is right in front of me has been the second biggest factor in defining my career.”

“I started at HSN in May of 2006, and by October, we had rolled out a new brand image, a new tagline, a new vision statement, a new customer manifesto, and new advertising.”

“We're not trying to be Amazon, all things to all people.”

“I'm a love-it-or-hate-it person. I don't waffle.”
