"Nobody retires from these jobs. You will be fired at some point."

"Because it's one of the great jobs," in a recent interview for Business Insider's podcast, "Success! How I Did It."

"So if you are somebody who is not afraid of risk and you love the creative process, it's great," she said. "Why would you not do it?"

"I made multiple leaps where there were no guarantees that I was going to be successful, By the way, I was not always successful. But I think if you go into something new with an open mind, and you let people around you know what you don't know, for the most part they're going to link arms with you."

"I see many, many young women now — and that's part of what excites me about the startup world — who have left great jobs and said, 'I think I can build something,'" "Eighty percent of them will probably fail at it, but they'll learn a ton, and they'll either be much better when they go back into a corporate job or they'll start a second company and they'll succeed. That's the way that we learn. We learn by making mistakes."

"If you genuinely want to have a multifaceted career that takes you into multiple industries, then I think you have to be willing to fail."
