I have never attributed power to anything I wear, carry, or put on."

The famous businesswoman said, "If you are not obliged to buy, expensive items seem like a great waste," and expressed, "For example, I will be going to Denizli shortly for a business trip, of course, I will fly in economy class, what is the need for a special seat, these seem meaningless to me."
