A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants.

I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one of the things that women have is men.

Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.

I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.

Hard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity.

Gentleness doesn't get work done unless you happen to be a hen laying eggs.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

I play- it's kind of like a slice-of-life, LA women in their forties, playing forty kind of what's their friendship like, and what's their life like and so I just play one of the four friends.

I take parenting incredibly seriously. I want to be there for my kids and help them navigate the world, and develop skills, emotional intelligence, to enjoy life, and I'm lucky to be able to do that and have two healthy, normal boys.

It's nice to be able to work; I'd love to be able to do another TV show I could do in Chicago so I could live and work in the same place. It's hard being a parent and being in a good marriage, and it all takes a lot of work, but if you're not there you can't do any of it.

You know, I loved math. My mom was a math teacher.

My dad was a very funny man - he's the one who taught me life would be awfully hard without humor! I'm sure his Irish wit in some way influenced my decision to become an actress.

I think there's nothing better than laughing in life, so that's nice, to be thought of as someone who can make someone laugh. It's 'cause I think life is hard. You know, my dad was a really silly man. A great Irish silly man. And that's fine.

I definitely have guys that I'm friends with that I have a crush on, and you don't want to ruin the friendship.

My mom is a really good cook. I didn't get the cooking gene, but she cooks this really amazing dinner every Christmas, and that's always really fun.

I love getting my nails done. My mom's best friend is a manicurist. When I was little, she'd do little paintings on my nails, like flowers.

I love getting my nails done. My mom's best friend is a manicurist. When I was little, she'd do little paintings on my nails, like flowers. She comes to our house. It's the best.

I like the old, classic scary movies. I love 'Psycho,' 'The Sixth Sense,' and 'Poltergeist.'

My ideal guy would be funny and fun to be around.

Punctuality is one of the cardinal business virtues: always insist on it in your subordinates.

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.

I would rather start a family than finish one.

An optimist is a guy that has never had much experience.

Happiness is the interval between periods of unhappiness.

There is nothing so habit-forming as money.

Pity the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.

Poetry is what Milton saw when he went blind.

Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.

An idea isn't responsible for the people who believe in it.

Every cloud has its silver lining but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to the mint.

A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists.

When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?'

Matching tattoos don't ensure the longevity of a friendship, any more than any other mutual hardship.

Best-friend tattoos require so much prep work, which adds to their legitimacy. First, a friendship must be deep enough to warrant the rite; then the perfect symbol must be found to forge the bond.

I'm not ashamed to admit that for many years, most of my fitness information came from a VHS series by MTV called ''The Grind Workout.''

The radical power of 'queer' always came from its inclusivity. But that inclusivity offers a false promise of equality that does not translate to the lived reality of most queer people.

Established technology companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google have expanded their reach and influence throughout the world. And while many countries have pushed back against that spread, our government has essentially left them alone.

Once, at Thanksgiving, a neighbor wandered in while my cousin Lisa worked on a turkey, shearing meat off its frame and sliding the steaming slices onto a big flowered plate. 'Hey, that's the man's job,' she yelped, in between slurps of her Big Gulp. No one even paused to acknowledge the comment; everyone just laughed and laughed.

Drag has been featured in popular culture for decades. Movies like 'Kinky Boots,' 'Tootsie,' 'The Birdcage' - even 'Mrs. Doubtfire' - have showcased men, some gay, some not, who dress and perform as women.

We may have a tacit understanding of how our solar system works, but watching the sun disappear behind the moon reminds us of the vastness of space and the enduring mysteries of the universe we inhabit.

If anything, Twitter helps me read about perspectives outside of mainstream media and learn about new authors, artists, and ideas that I don't always get exposed to in my regular media diet.

In business, you have to be strong. If you are weak, people are going to take advantage.

Gorgeous hair is the best revenge.

What I know is that my upbringing was always the man was the head of the family. It's a European tradition. We always look up to the man. But this is old times. Now what I believe is that I'm definitely equal.
