I Am Aware That Success

If You Really Didn't Ever Want To Get Wrinkles, Then You Should Have Stopped Smiling Years Ago!

The Function Of Wealth Is Not To Accumulate It But To Give It Away As Productively And Responsibly As You Can.

I Don't Think I'm A Risk-taker. I Don't Think Any Entrepreneur Is. I Think That's One Of Those Myths Of Commerce. The New Entrepreneur Is More Values-led: You Do What Looks Risky To Other People Because That's What Your Convictions Tell You To Do. Other Companies Would Say I'm Taking Risks, But That's My Path - It Doesn't Feel Like Risk To Me.

The Money That We Make From The Company Goes Into The Body Shop Foundation, Which Isn't One Of Those Awful Tax Shelters Like Some In America. It Just Functions To Take The Money And Give It Away.

I Think The Leadership Of A Company Should Encourage The Next Generation Not Just To Follow, But To Overtake. The Duty Of Leadership Is To Put Forward Ideas, Symbols, Metaphors Of The Way It Should Be Done, So That The Next Generation Can Work Out New And Better Ways Of Doing The Job. The Complaint Gordon And I Have Is That We Are Not Being Overtaken By Our Staff. We Would Like To Be Able To Say, "we Can't Keep Up With You Guys", But, It Is Not Happening.
