We have to shift our emphasis from economic
efficiency and materialism towards a sustainable
quality of life and to healing of our
society, of our people and our ecological
systems.

I do believe that it is extremely important
that each one of us is a participant in
life and what's going on around us rather
than being a spectator to it and if you
do that, if you participate in the world,
in your community, your school, your company,
or your country, whatever.. they you will
be useful and hopefully leave the planet
a little better.

Now we've got around seven thousand people
working, and that to me is fantastically
satisfying.. more than dollars and cents,
because I just believe that the greatest
thing you can give someone is a job.

The company was quite hierarchical. I
often think it was like a pyramid with
Robert (husband
Robert Holmes à Court) at
the top and lots of us paying homage to
him. I try to turn the pyramid upside
down so that I'm at the bottom and bubbling
away and encouraging people and energising
them so that they are all empowered so
that they can do what they need to do,
now that's the dream.

I think this feeling that I have for people
and the importance of behaving in a way
which is respectful to people of all colours,
shapes, sizes and religions goes back
a very long way.. possibly to my mother
and father in very early stages of childhood.
