I'm really interested in older women, to be honest, because they have lived a life that I've not yet lived. So I really want to learn from them, and I think culturally we tend to dispose of women once they get to a certain age and they don't look a certain way.

Women get labeled 'bossy' when it's like, 'Maybe I'm a leader. Maybe I just know what I want.'

Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them.

'Bridesmaids,' I think, opened up a door to allow women to show a bunch of different women in different ways of being funny. It was kind of like an arrival moment.

Most visitors to Amsterdam will wander into the red-light district out of sheer curiosity. The narrow streets are mostly safe day and night - just don't try to take pictures of the women working in the windows.

There are many women with children under five who want to work and who lack affordable, high-quality child care.

I always loved fish for the colors and birds for the plumage. In the same way, I loved those women of the cabaret. They were birds of paradise.

What is the most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine.

With women, I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close. Like catching snakes.

Honor your daughters. They are honorable.

Right now, I don't have the same urges as other women when they see a baby. When I see children, I see responsibilities, which I don't think I'm quite ready for. I feel the same about puppies. They're cute for a second, but there's a lot of responsibility involved.

Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.

Growing up, there was a lot of pressure for women to be good-looking, but my mum was very strict, and she didn't allow me to wear make-up. Looking back, it was good for me. It slowed me down from becoming an adult too quickly.

Having done 'M. Butterfly,' I'm conscious of the choices women make with their clothes and makeup on screen.

Reproductive rights are not just a women's issue.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one.

I'm not denyin' the women are foolish. God Almighty made 'em to match the men.

I believe women still face a glass ceiling that must be shattered.

What a circus act we women perform every day of our lives. Look at us. We run a tightrope daily, balancing a pile of books on the head. Baby-carriage, parasol, kitchen chair, still under control. Steady now! This is not the life of simplicity but the life of multiplicity that the wise men warn us of.

People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do.

I would hope more people would have optimism about where the Latino has come. How we have emerged, and that there will be more women, women of color especially Latinas who will get involved.

I have always loved trouser suits. It's something I absolutely believe in for women.

Within a culture possessed by the myth of feminine evil, the naming, describing, and theorizing about good and evil has constituted a maze/haze of deception. The journey of women becoming is breaking through this maze - springing into free space, which is an a-mazing process.

From birth to age 18 a girl needs good parents. From 18 to 35 she needs good looks. From 35 to 55 she needs a good personality. From 55 on, she needs good cash.

The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.

I love it when women are like, 'You guys sound like me and my best friend!'

A lot of women say they love being pregnant, but I wasn't such a big fan.

Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.

You dear women, I say thanks to you. Thank you for being the kind of people you are and doing the things you do.

It is little men know of women; their smiles and their tears alike are seldom what they seem.

Women in general, we tend to shrink ourselves and not have as much confidence as we should in presenting ourselves and our body types. It's OK to be fit and healthy and comfortable within your body, whatever frame you have.

I love watching other women when I'm sitting at a cafe.

Walking in the street, particularly in a city like New York, every single day, I am reminded of how objectified women can be. Being catcalled every day, multiple times a day, all the time... it just constantly happens.

Women should try to increase their size rather than decrease it, because I believe the bigger we are, the more space we'll take up, and the more we'll have to be reckoned with.

They say that women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men.

Women think with their whole bodies and they see things as a whole more than men do.

My advantage as a woman and a human being has been in having a mother who believed strongly in women's education. She was an early undergraduate at Oxford, and her own mother was a doctor.

Men's vows are women's traitors!

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.

All places where women are excluded tend downward to barbarism; but the moment she is introduced, there come in with her courtesy, cleanliness, sobriety, and order.

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

I think it's important for little girls growing up, and young women, to have one in every walk of life. So from that point of view, I'm proud to be a role model!

Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly.

Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company.

I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.

Women are considered deep - why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.

Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.

Capitalism has its weaknesses. But it is capitalism that ended the stranglehold of the hereditary aristocracies, raised the standard of living for most of the world and enabled the emancipation of women.

The only really happy folk are married women and single men.
