It helps with recruiting, it helps with marketing, it helps with sales. It just helps on many dimensions. I think it's basically a litmus test for the CEO's ambition.”

And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
“Writing is the thing that sustains me and keeps me going. It is a form of self-preservation for me.”
