More From Betty Friedan

Some of the morays have held on. when i was in school, i remember asking the question, "why is it that whenever i walk into a fraternity there's alcohol everywhere and there's no alcohol in a sorority? why is it that sororities won't allow alcohol, but fraternities do? what is that?" you know, nobody had a really good answer, and that's kind of held on. it's one of the issues that's being examined now - the role of alcohol in sexual assault.

Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old tennessee williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. what i’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. for us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.

I don't know if one's more typecasting than the other, or what i am more like. but i know that the high school i went to was a private school. it was prep school. it was a boarding school. so we didn't have a shop class. we didn't have saturday detention. we went to school on saturday. we did have sunday study, which you very rarely get, because then you have 13 straight days of school. who wants that?

It's hard sometimes when you're in a regular high school, you just feel like the odd kid out. the great thing about going to an art school [is] it's kind of like it's all the odd kids. it's all the kids that don't fit in at their regular schools, because you're into something and excited about something that other kids really aren't into. when you go to art school, everybody's kind of on the same page.

Lions cannot afford to hunt mice because they literally will starve to death, even if they catch them. lions and all large carnivores have to hunt game large enough to justify the investment, so they have to hunt antelope and zebra. why is this important? because most senior executives are really big on chipmunks.

But, once again, when i said i'm so grateful for my mom just being adamant about me staying in public school - that is what allowed me to be exposed to so many different types of people. i went to a high school that was by the beach. i elected to do bussing my junior high school years. and my first year of high school, i would take the bus from my neighborhood to the beach schools. and at those schools, you had such a mix of so many types of kids.

I like to be on the edge, on the cutting edge, or be into the unknown, into the territory where i have to depend on being in the moment and depending on my instincts.

My mother used to say, 'he who angers you, conquers you!' but my mother was a saint.

While a good leader sustains momentum, a great leader increases it.

A modern mom to me is not always someone that juggles a career and family. a modern mom is a woman who takes care of herself on the inside and the outside.
