I need a woman to have a quirky sense of humor. There's a bunch of jokes I use, and if she doesn't get them, she's probably not for me.
For quite a while, I didn't receive a higher academic status. I didn't feel any discrimination against me as a woman scientist, but I hadn't produced a lot of science journal articles.
In a way, it has been an advantage for me to be a woman because there is always some academic committee that needs you to fill a quota!
It is an old error of man to forget to put quotation marks where he borrows from a woman's brain!
I hate the word 'feminine!' I mean, there is a woman and a man, and when I say 'woman,' it suggests all that is radiant, tender, fascinating, gentle, demoniac, exaggerated! 'Feminine' makes me think of somebody who is spindly and over-sweet - I don't like that!
When I did 'Baby Got Back,' that was just a reflection of the African-American community. We've always liked curves, and a lot of people misunderstood it because let's face it: 20 years prior to 'Baby Got Back,' the only images you saw of a black woman on television were she was probably 300 pounds and cleaning the house with a rag on her head.
To what a bad choice is many a worthy woman betrayed, by that false and inconsiderate notion, That a reformed rake makes the best husband!
Alabama - they were the masters of that. They could come out with 'Mountain Music' or 'Tennessee River' and then turn around and come out with 'Feels So Right.' Go out and have fun and be those guys that like to party, then turn around and make every woman in America want Randy Owen.
Two years ago I hadn't even thought of the Woman in White, and I was doing a television show and I said I hadn't found a story and the next day somebody rang me and said have you ever thought of the Woman in White.
PepsiCo did not have a woman in the senior ranks, nor a foreign-born person who was willing to think differently.
The dogma of woman's complete historical subjection to men must be rated as one of the most fantastic myths ever created by the human mind.
It's a razor's edge, a romance with an old man and a young woman.
Of woman as a real human being, with sexual needs and sexual responsibilities, morality has often known nothing.
A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?
Sadly, I never really tell people what I think. So it's a real treat to play a woman who's able to speak her mind unabashedly.
Never comment on a woman's rear end. Never use the words 'large' or 'size' with 'rear end.' Never. Avoid the area altogether. Trust me.
A woman in love can't be reasonable - or she probably wouldn't be in love.
I'm a feminist. The women in my books in recent years have been powerful characters and I love to see a woman with a cute bottom walking past.
The press has always written that I am a recluse and a mysterious woman, but I am more down-to-earth than they think.
Of course, like any woman, I look in the mirror and think, 'Oh, wouldn't I look better with a bit of Botox?' But you've got to find comfort in your own skin. I've watched women stretch themselves year after year until their faces are no longer recognisable.
