Something I learned along the way is that you really have to have courage in life. You can do amazing things on any level. It doesn't have to change the world; it can just impact the people around you - that's just as amazing.
From Joy Mangano
When I wake up, I think, 'What can I do to help others?' I think we all owe the world something. That's the way I am when I'm designing a product.
There is something special when creative people get together.
Don't be afraid to have a reality check. Taking risks is OK, but you must be realistic.
I think if you believe in something hard enough, it'll work.
I made all sorts of things: drawings, sculptures - I was doing origami before I even knew the word. I was constantly creating.
I'm fortunate to have success, but it was a long and challenging road, so I try to make that not be the case for other women.
Years ago, Barry Diller asked me to be a judge on a pilot for an inventor show on USA, and when it was over, the producer, Ken Mok, took me out to dinner and really got me talking. It was a long dinner. Afterward, he said, 'One day, I'm going to write your movie'.
I've stood up in front of America for 25 years, and I wish I could bring everybody into my home that I have touched in my career. That would be an amazing thing.
From the start, I was focused on getting the Good Housekeeping Seal. I wanted to go on TV and tell everyone that the Miracle Mop had it. Now, I can proudly say 26 of my products have been approved!
