I think we still believe that ambition is for boys.
~By Jeanette Winterson ~
My favorite thing to do is still to go back to Peoria, go to my cabin and hunt with the boys. This is a great lifestyle, don't get me wrong. But fun for me is going back with my buddies I grew up with.
~By Jim Thome ~
Every year I teach dozens of students at the University of Birmingham. Most of the students on the gender and sexuality courses are women. I guess this is because the boys don't think that gender applies to them: that it's a subject for girls.
~By Louise Brown ~
People always blame the girl; she should have said no. A monosyllable, but conventional wisdom has always been that boys can't manage it.
~By Anna Quindlen ~
There was one public school for boys, and one for girls, but Jewish children were admitted in limited numbers - only ten to a hundred; and even the lucky ones had their troubles.
~By Mary Antin ~
I was the last one to screen test for The Hardy Boys. I'd like to play that's not as clean-cut as Frank Hardy. I play him as straight as possible.
~By Parker Stevenson ~
Obscenities... I think a lot of dumb people do it because they can't think of what they want to say and they're frustrated. A lot of smart people do it to pretend they aren't very smart - want to be just one of the boys.
~By Andy Rooney ~
For a lot of kids, the Boys and Girls Club is really a sanctuary, an oasis of sanity and safety for them because their home life is so tragic. Some of these kids have only one parent, and that one is addicted to drugs.
~By Judge Reinhold ~
The costermongers' boys will, I am informed, cheat their employers, but they do not steal from them.

~By Malcolm Campbell ~
The person upon whom the schoolboys' attention centred was, of course, the Headmaster.
~By Georg Brandes ~
I truly don't know why the boys are getting all the votes - it could be because they are really amazing, and that's all there is to it. They're really, really good and every single boy deserves to be in the competition right now, and so do the two girls.
~By Pia Toscano ~
Well, I went to school with Jan and Dean, Ryan O'Neal, some of the Beach Boys we all use to party together.
~By Tommy Rettig ~
I had achieved the most important things in my life when I married Joan and had the sons. Given the choice between Joan and the boys, and being a writer, I world give up being a writer without a blink.
~By Robert B. Parker ~
Young women, adolescent girls, are more subject to infection, sometimes at a rate of six times that of boys. That tells you a lot about the vulnerability of women.
~By Stephen Lewis ~
Some of the wise boys who say my music is loud, blatant and that's all should see the faces of the kids who have driven a hundred miles through the snow to see the band... to stand in front of the bandstand in an ecstasy all their own.
~By Stan Kenton ~
I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I'm from the South - Tennessee, to be exact - and down there, we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him!
~By Miley Cyrus ~
It's true, I had an extremely delicious life, but that was my life at home, and perhaps because I was only a child, or for whatever reasons, I found the company of others, especially other boys, quite terrifying and upsetting.
~By Harry Mathews ~

~By Zac Efron ~
I never trusted good-looking boys.
~By Frances McDormand ~
At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!
~By John Hughes ~
With two little boys in diapers, I had to keep it simple if I were going to have a life at all.
~By Esther Williams ~
General Lee, this is no place for you. These men behind you are Georgians and Virginians. They have never failed you and will not fail you here. Will you boys?
~By John Brown Gordon ~
Westerns was why I got into the business. I grew up on a small farm in California and all I ever wanted to do was to play gangsters and cowboys in movies.
~By Brion James ~
I have twin boys, 12, and a daughter, 17.
~By Lee Majors ~
I came from a big family - two brothers and two sisters. So, there were always a ton of boys around and a ton of girls around. So, I grew up comfortable with both sexes.

~By Joe Pantoliano ~
Americans don't want cowboys to be gay.
~By Larry McMurtry ~
Particular individuals who might never consider dropping out if they were in a different high school might decide to drop out if they attended a school where many boys and girls did so.

Americans are big boys. You can talk them into almost anything. Just sit with them for half an hour over a bottle of whiskey and be a nice guy.
~By Nguyen Cao Ky ~
I have a thing for red-haired Irish boys, as we know.
~By Sandra Bullock ~

~By Kiefer Sutherland ~
Before I was an actor I was an apprentice jockey, and now I'm out there racing against boys, sort of the spokesperson for people over 50 that they can do it.
~By Davy Jones ~
It's taken folk a while to come around, hasn't it? Even the boys in the band weren't too sure about the whole art thing. They just wanted me to concentrate on the music. But they respect it now.
~By Ron Wood ~
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
~By P. J. O'Rourke ~
That was my aspiration, so I was there in a seminary with just boys who were studying to be priests. Pretty rigorous schooling; we never got home, we stayed there all year.
~By Peter Jurasik ~
Once a week we go to juvenile hall and talk to boys there. Just go and spend a day in the juvenile courts.
~By Lisa Bonet ~
Looking back, I think we were all quite mature, surprisingly responsible. In earlier wars, boys of our age had just gone off to raise hell or enlist or both, but we stayed dutifully at our desks doing tomorrow's homework.
~By John Knowles ~
Men are amazing. I love the way they are. They're consistently little boys, and they need to be nurtured and loved. But at the same time, they need to feel like men.
~By Krista Allen ~
There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.
~By David Beckham ~
I read the script for Wonder Boys, and I said that was almost perfect, it was so classy, cool and funny. It's a really specific thing. We stuck to it, it turned out good and a lot of people liked it.
~By Robert Downey, Jr. ~

The Backstreet Boys were so ten years ago. Whatever.
~By Paris Hilton ~

~By Laura Ingalls Wilder ~
Well, because I have twin seven-year-old boys, I enjoy the gift giving stuff a great deal. We do both Hanukkah and Christmas, so it is a costly, though extremely pleasing proposition.
~By Fred Melamed ~
The McCarthy boys, at the proper moment, gave orders to fire upon the advancing enemy.
~By Buffalo Bill ~

~By Charles Lamb ~
Shortly after this I was made a member of the boys' choir, it being found that I possessed a clear, strong soprano voice. I enjoyed the singing very much.

I'm not very experienced with boys or the whole dating thingy.
~By Vanessa Hudgens ~
As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport.

~By Garth Brooks ~
I do recommend it for all girls, and boys, out there: put on a pair of fishnet stockings and find your inner sexiness!
~By Nia Vardalos ~
I not only urge you to vote that ticket yourself, but I beg that you will persuade others to do so. Personal effort can accomplish a great deal, and I beg that you will use your personal influence with your friends to get them to go with you to save the boys.
~By Thomas Jordan Jarvis ~
I came in with my idea of what a cowboy would wear, but then I met some real cowboys and they said that I rode the horses well, shoed the horses, but no good cowboy would be wearing a pair of Levi's. I had to get a good old pair of Wranglers.
~By Steve Kanaly ~
We should never forget that Hollywood was built by Europeans, and the old Jewish boys from Eastern Europe.
~By Maximilian Schell ~
The awesomeness of God is that even in the works of the Beach Boys, Beatles, etc., the beauty of the music is a mere reflection of what God does everyday. He creates music of all kinds and moods.
~By John Foster ~

~By Molly Sims ~
I used to have a great love for Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, the big boys of the last century.
~By Norman MacCaig ~
We spend so much time together, because that's how we like it. I never used to go on girl's nights out, even at school. And Paul has never liked going out for a night with the boys, either.
~By Linda McCartney ~
When I was a junior, boys were allowed to come visit me at the house. We could sit on the porch until about 8 o'clock at night; that's when it started getting dark. That was it.
~By Daisy Fuentes ~
I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one's own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this.
~By A. C. Benson ~
It's funny, but when there are dominant teams, there are a number of people who rail about the fact that they're always seeing the Dallas Cowboys or the San Francisco 49ers or the Green Bay either in the playoffs or in the Super Bowl.
~By Al Michaels ~
For the longest time, I thought I was a boy. I really did. I wore boys' clothes, played tag football.
~By Eliza Dushku ~
I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment.
~By Candice Bergen ~
When Bound was released, Boys don't Cry wasn't out yet. Therefore it was very taboo to play a lesbian. I loved the part, because girls never get to play the typical guy parts.
~By Gina Gershon ~
When I first started editing GQ, it gave the impression of being, and in fact was, a gay magazine. There were female models in it and there were women on the cover, but the boys were always much, much more beautiful than the girls.
~By Art Cooper ~
They wanted to do a movie about the Backstreet Boys.
~By Kevin Richardson ~
I get a little jealous of these actor boys. They walk into a club, and in two seconds flat there are swarms of girls who are wanting so badly to touch them or just say hello. That's not the case with me, or any other girl I know.
~By Claire Danes ~
I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.
~By Bette Davis ~
When I went to high school, an all-boys' school, a Catholic school, I tried out for football, and I didn't make it. It was the first time, athletically, that I was knocked down.
~By Mike Krzyzewski ~
Besides that, I felt guilty. I thought for some reason... I was alive, and Buddy and those boys were dead, and I didn't know how, but somehow I'd caused it.
~By Waylon Jennings ~
I don't know who's worse with little boys, Mario or Michael Jackson.
~By Dustin Diamond ~

The other thing is this industry has decided it only has one market. Unlike any other industry in the world, unlike film or books or sports even, this industry has decided it has only one market and that's 14 year old boys.
~By Rob Walton ~
Neiman-Marcus is one thing, and the Dallas Cowboys are another.
~By Mercedes McCambridge ~
The games industry is already bigger than the music industry, and it's mainly directed at teenage boys.
~By Thomas Dolby ~
The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.
~By Christian Siriano ~
It's easy for women to say they don't understand and ask a man for help. As the saying goes, boys play with toys, and girls play with boys.
~By Tom Stewart ~
My father was a carpenter, a very good carpenter. He also worked for the Jones boys. They were not family members, we weren't related at all. They started the policy racket in Chicago, and they had the five and dime store.
~By Quincy Jones ~
If the Constitution is worth anything, if the Declaration of Independence is worth anything, if the boys who died on the field of battle did not die in vain, fair employment practices are correct and necessary.
