I've been a fortunate girl: I grew up in a family that loved me from day one. I feel well grounded and lucky from that.

My feeling about executive bonuses is that any candidate for a chief executive job who even raises the issue of bonuses should be dismissed out of hand.

 we can direct them to work another way. This is why we give bonuses to bankers and pay in all kinds of ways.
