~By Lester Bangs ~
I liked the way my character, Shane, was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action, and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is, to a certain extent. She's a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn't apologize for it. It's just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television.
~By Katherine Moennig ~
Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.
~By Groucho Marx ~

The best thing that could happen to motherhood already has. Fewer women are going into it.
~By Victoria Billings ~

~By Hedy Lamarr ~
It's okay to be a fat man. It's prestige and power and all of that. But fat women are seen as just lazy and stupid and having no self-control.
~By Camryn Manheim ~
It's fascinating for us women to begin looking at our lives in five-year plans. It really does help you keep on track. If that's too hard, start with a two-year plan.

The Golden Girls certainly proved that there was a large audience for a show about older women.
~By Marlo Thomas ~
But I can't bear it when somebody who some man made a pass at - to call that violence seems to me absurd and insulting to women who've really met violence, who've been raped or bashed.
~By Helen Garner ~
There are so few strong roles for women, especially young women. And Veronica is very serious but also very likable. She's a lone wolf, and it appeals to people that she isn't rich and doesn't have a lot of friends. No posse. She's just like you, like most of us.
~By Kristen Bell ~
I don't think a powerful man would be interesting unless he'd be nice, attractive, with or without the power. Men are interested in powerful men. Women are interested in terrific men!

Genetic studies in Iceland have found that many of the women who were the founding stock of Iceland came from England and what is now France. Some were probably captured and carried off in Viking raids only 40 generations ago.
~By Keith Henson ~
Personally, I don't think we could do such a show if we didn't get along. The subtext of all this is that we're women in a show so we can't possibly get along. It's not like they write about The Sopranos like that.
~By Kristin Davis ~
Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by examining his wives' mouths.
~By Bertrand Russell ~
Southern women often marry a man knowing that he is the father of many little slaves. They do not trouble themselves about it.
~By Harriet Ann Jacobs ~

~By Sean Connery ~

~By Salma Hayek ~
Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.

~By Jean Jacques Rousseau ~
I got quite bored, serving in the bar. Since I was there, the customers wouldn't talk about women, and with half their subject matter denied them, it was: horses, silence; horses, silence.
~By Bernadette Devlin ~
Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
~By Dwight D. Eisenhower ~
Ninety percent I'll spend on good times, women and Irish Whiskey. The other ten percent I'll probably waste.
~By Tug McGraw ~

~By Clara Zetkin ~
It used to be only on TV that women could lead, that a show could be based on a woman.
~By Sarah Michelle Gellar ~
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.
~By Coco Chanel ~
You have to be very careful with women friends.
~By Heather Locklear ~

~By Elena Anaya ~
I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.

If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?
~By Mary Astell ~
It seems like all the good looking people have smaller dogs these days. Especially for the women, because they always come in with their little Chihuahuas and the guys come in with their Golden Retrievers.
~By Elizabeth Perkins ~
Lives in previous centuries for women are largely a matter of class. It would have been fun to have been a rich, privileged woman in the 18th century, but no fun at all to be her maid.
~By Antonia Fraser ~
Many women have more power than they recognize, and they're very hesitant to use it, for they fear they won't be loved.
~By Patricia Schroeder ~
If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it.
~By Victoria Woodhull ~
It is women who bear the race in bloody agony. Suffering is a kind of horror. Blood is a kind of horror. Women are born with horror in their very bloodstream. It is a biological thing.
~By Bela Lugosi ~
Our main reasons for fearing males having sex with males is that you really had to construct a more powerful social role to keep men in their place than you did to keep women in their place.
~By Warren Farrell ~
It is women who love horror. Gloat over it. Feed on it. Are nourished by it. Shudder and cling and cry out-and come back for more.
~By Bela Lugosi ~
My Cape women are generally true to type - big hearted, motherly women who love the sea. My other characters, with the exception of the Portuguese, who I occasionally mention as Cape dwellers, are obviously drawn from the city types one sees in everyday life.
~By Joseph C. Lincoln ~

~By Helene Deutsch ~
The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women.

~By Patricia Ireland ~
Women do not have as great a need for poetry because their own essence is poetry.

I've sort of dealt with the characters' lives more; particularly the women characters.

~By Marsha Blackburn ~
I'm surrounded by very powerful women and very progressive men.
~By Christie Hefner ~

~By Tracy Austin ~
I'll get up in the morning while they've all got hangovers and run my 5 miles. But the women who do run are usually 10 years younger than me and they're really obsessed about running. That's all they do. They're really boring.
~By Trisha Goddard ~

~By Will Smith ~
Many women have told me they remember where they were when they read the book, and how they felt suddenly that what they really thought or felt about things made sense.
