The characters that aren't what they seem to be or women who are stronger than people give them credit for or characters you underestimate, I always think are really interesting because there are so many possibilities with them.

As women, I think we're used to looking around to see what people think about this, who's approving of us, who's criticizing us, and whether we have to internalize their thoughts on us.

In this industry, all the heads of labels are men, but every artist has to prove themselves, regardless of their sex. I have always been very vocal about the women sticking together.

I find old women at weddings and funerals attractive; I have this weird mortality thing.

Violence may be a good focus to organize around, but we have to look at women's lives in our entirety.

I'm really bored by the constant vilifying of people (especially women) for things they didn't say.

I truly believe that women are extremely talented people and with the right opportunities, they perform as well and maybe better than men.

The message of women's liberation is that women can love each other and ourselves against our degrading education.

We must ensure that the men in our homes vote for a party that will work for the development of women.

Women now have to put so much attention into their careers, and not many families can pull off a single income.

I still ask myself the same questions every woman asks. Was it my fault? Did I say or do something to make him feel like such an advance was welcome? And like most women, I never told anyone. Instead, I just quit.

No country in Europe has a larger proportion of men and women of immigrant descent, mainly from the African continent and mainly Muslim: an estimated six to seven million of them, or more than 10% of the population.

Cinematography speaks to everything that women do inherently well: It's multitasking, it's empathy, and it's channeling visuals into human emotion.

I'm going to have to keep fighting until I find the same number of women in the studio as there are men.

I was in a number of school plays, one in particular, when I was 13 or 14, entitled 'Illusions.' It was put together by one of the teachers, and was about famous historical figures. I had to do the Martin Luther King 'I have a dream' speech, and some black women in the audience were clapping and crying and whooping.

We need to see men and women as equal partners, but it's hard to think of movies that do that. When I talk to people, they think of movies of forty-five years ago! Hepburn and Tracy!

Other women looked on me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal.

I don't write with this thing in the back of my head about carrying the weight of young black women on my shoulders.

If women were in charge of everything, there would be women tyrants. If black people were in charge, there would be black tyrants. If Hispanics were in charge, then Hispanic tyrants.

Policies that aim to promote the livelihood security of the people - promoting employment, improving the nutritional status of children and women, expanding educational opportunities, and providing affordable healthcare - would be the first charge on the budget of a developmental state.
