My next project is 'Venus Vs,' which is a documentary that follows tennis star Venus Williams and her effort to get equal-award pay for women at Wimbledon. Most people don't realize that Venus fought for years to make sure women and men winners of that tennis championship received the same amount in award money.
I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact.
It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
I notice that young men go to the universities in order to become doctors or philosophers or anything, so long as it is a title, and that many go in for those professions who are utterly unfit for them, while others who would be very competent are prevented by business or their daily cares, which keep them away from letters.
Men lose more conquests by their own awkwardness than by any virtue in the woman.
Prior to Saving Private Ryan I never worked with men. I was always working with some babe, and it was always about falling in love, and it just got turned around. I'm not looking for any particular kind of story. I wait until it comes across my desk.
Our distorted media culture sees men as subjects and women as objects; in films, Woody Allen gets older and older and still dates 20-year-old babes; movies about women are called 'chick flicks,' and men make fun of them.
A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once.
Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.
Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.
Though bachelors be the strongest stakes, married men are the best binders, in the hedge of the commonwealth.
For women to achieve equal representation in leadership roles, it's important that they have the backing of men as well as women.
Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.
When women criticized men, I called it 'insight'... When men criticized women, I called it 'sexism' and 'backlash.'
It's a huge turnoff when men have teeth that look like they haven't been brushed in days. Also, bad breath is awful.
I have very little faith that I'll ever find someone. I've had some bad luck and I've made some bad choices - not in men, but in how I've chosen to deal with relationships.
I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It's the good girls men should be warned against.
I wish men would stop telling me how they are not 'bad guys,' how they're 'an exception to the norm.'
Many men and women in the world demonstrate great willpower and self-discipline in overcoming bad habits and the weaknesses of the flesh.
I get more disgusted with men all the time - particularly traveling Americans. They start out on a trip to Europe and never bother to pack a dinner jacket. This is not only stupid - it's bad manners.
