00:00My true nature is timidity, but I also know that my most valuable asset is my insatiable curiosity.
00:24Did you ever face misogyny?
00:26Oh, of course I have, yes. As an actress, as a businesswoman, as a human being walking down the street, as someone on a subway.
00:44I came from a family that struggled financially. I am one of eight kids.
00:49For the most part, as children, we had what we needed, but rarely the things we wanted.
00:57Do you have a favorite movie?
01:01I love the movie, The Little Mermaid.
01:05I love the movie, The Little Mermaid.
01:09I love the movie, The Little Mermaid.
01:13I love the movie, The Little Mermaid.
01:16I read about it in my local paper and I think my sister and I actually went downtown, got in line with 500 other little girls,
01:23wrapped around the building, you know, in downtown Cincinnati, and I auditioned and I got the part.

02:31There was just nothing like it and so I'm very surprised. I'm thrilled that an audience is such big thinkers.
02:43There's not a myopic point of view about how women should be portrayed on television and I know that it's provocative on occasion and I'm pleased that no one has been too offended by it.
03:30I really, really love the idea of making fashion accessible to every woman in this country, despite her economic standing, despite her size or shape or ethnic background.
04:00Professionally, it's been the best 10 years of my life. I wouldn't have done it any differently with any different women, with any different men, so it's been glorious.
04:14I'm surprised to tell you how much I love being a business owner and working in business and having the opportunity to hire people, to give people jobs and promote them within and that's always been the case, but I enjoy it enormously.
