I love Wal-Mart. You can put that down. I love Wal-Mart. My husband and I hang out there.

Walmart isn't your average mom-and-pop operation. It's the largest employer in America. As such, it's the trendsetter for millions of other employers of low-wage workers.

More people work at Walmart than anywhere else in the United States, but you wouldn't know that from our literature. I'm trying to get at the reality of this country by portraying the lives of many of my friends who I left behind in Pittsburgh.

You can't compete with Walmart. But you can have smaller businesses that are successful.

When you compete with Wal-Mart, even if you think you've found a niche don't ever become complacent.

Wal-Mart has always paid low wages, or, as Sam Walton put it, 'as little as we could get by with at the time.'

But they are also better, our competitors are better because Wal-Mart exists.

Now I know that Wal-Mart's policies do not reflect the best way of doing business and the values that I think are important in America.

At Wal-Mart, it goes back to Sam Walton and the foundation and business model that we simply operate for less, or everyday low cost. We're known for operating in a very efficient way and then giving those savings to customers.
