There are plenty of issues President Trump and I don't agree on. I don't support shutting down our government over a border wall. I've been disgusted by his offensive remarks about women, immigrants and veterans, among others.

People forget the punk thing was really good for women. It motivated them to pick up a guitar rather than be a chanteuse. It allowed us to be aggressive.

Women were freed from positive duties when they could not perform them, but not when they could.

Joan Crawford and Bette Davis are larger than life. They just are. They sucked all the oxygen out of a room: they're icons; they loom large in our imaginations. But the truth of the matter is both women were diminutive.

I think women today are really struggling with these dual roles: How do you have a full-time career and be ambitious and still take care of your family?

Women just love to shop.

I deal with postpartum feelings by reaching out to mom friends. I became very close with some of the women in my prenatal yoga class.

As a physician and a policymaker, I believe all Virginia women should be informed about and have access to all possible reproductive health-care options so they can make the best decisions for their families.

I'm a huge fan of good, procedural-type shows on television... there are a lot of roles for women. But there aren't a lot of great network television roles for girls that will let you start a character in one place and finish up with her in a totally different one.

Many women do not want to venture out into the 'opinion world' until they are certain of themselves, the facts, and that they are right. They are afraid of being shot down. The result is often silence.

Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad.

And of course in America you've got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled.

I have a lot of guy friends, from martial arts and film, and soccer. I actually barely know women.

Women are always complaining about men's fascination with breasts. But what if men were absolutely indifferent to breasts? What would women do then with these things that serve one function once or twice in a lifetime, and the rest of the time are just in the way?

I never wrote just straight women's roles. I liked the strong characters. I don't mean women who have masculine qualities about them, but something that has some intestinal fortitude, some guts to it.

The women's movement was just coming into being, and I got involved with Gloria Steinem and Bella Abzug and all these great women. We then got involved with Carter, who was running for president, and we created the first International Women's Conference or the National Women's Conference for Carter.

I can tell you I didn't feel good when I could not articulate properly. Getting my GED was important and I want other women to feel that.

If I pop off and do something drastic, everyone's going to realise because they know I'm 50. Anyway, middle-aged women are sensational.

Women's sport is changing all the time, no matter what role you play. No matter what part you play in a football club, women are getting a lot more opportunities, which is really positive.

Welsh women aren't the most tactile unless they're your relatives. And then you don't want them to be.
