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

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.

There are going to be some people who never want Wal-Mart. That's OK.

Walmart and other big-boxers could become the center of gravity for the conservation of goods, employ people with actual know-how, and develop deeper, longer term, more profitable relationships with their customers.

Yes. I think the anti-Wal-Mart is Costco, which pays much better and has much better health benefits and which is profitable and offers low prices.

I wanted stores that would feel like a comfortable room in my apartment, cozy and colorful and different.

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

It's interesting: the letters I get from mayors that want Wal-Mart to look and invest in their community.

I love Wal-Mart, and not just because my record is there. You can get some things there that you cannot find at Saks or Bergdorf's or other upscale stores.

You go into Wal-Mart, and you see stuff you typically wouldn't see anywhere else.
