88 " Learn how to take care of yourself so that the man you marry is the man you choose to be with and not just the man who will take care of you. "
89 " You ask questions. You take your life seriously, but you don't take yourself too seriously. You're going to take over the world, and change it in the process. You're a badass. "
90 " given that I’m making decisions that involve so much money and so many people, I can’t afford to pretend to know what’s up. "
