I wouldn't say there's a need for the Spice Girls, but I'd say there's a place for the Spice Girls. There's certainly a place for them, but you don't promote the Spice Girls at the expense of promoting what I think are good role models for girls. You need to create some kind of equality.

I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.

It is not that success stories cannot serve as models of good design or as exemplars of creative engineering. They can do that, but they cannot teach us how close to failure they are.

I've never isolated role models based on gender. I have more male role models due to the mere fact that I've done business with more of them and they're leaders within the verticals I work.

I thought it was quite vain to say, I want to be a model.

I can't stand when girls come to me and say they want to be a model, but they can't tell me who the top three photographers are in the world.

They go on about banning size zero, but I think Hollywood stars are the worst perpetrators.

There are loads of 'em.

We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties.
