Deborah Tannen Zitate

Why don't men like to stop and ask directions? This question, which I first addressed in my 1990 book 'You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation', garnered perhaps the most attention of any issue or insight in that book.

Deborah Tannen

Deutsche Übersetzung

Warum halten Männer nicht gern an und fragen nach dem Weg? Diese Frage, die ich 1990 in meinem Buch "Sie verstehen nicht einfach nur: Frauen und Männer im Gespräch" zum ersten Mal angesprochen haben, hat vielleicht die größte Aufmerksamkeit aller Themen und Einsichten in diesem Buch erregt.

Englisches Zitat von Sally Mann als Bild

I'm not an ardent feminist - well, maybe I am an ardent feminist. I just roll my eyes at the way women are constantly used and how sensitive men are about photographs of themselves.

Sally Mann

The solution to women's issues can only be achieved in a free and democratic society in which human energy is liberated, the energy of both women and men together. Our civilization is called human civilization and is not attributed only to men or women.

Englisches Zitat von Ethel Barrymore als Bild

The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure - if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.

Englisches Zitat von Kevin James als Bild

I've always been the guy who doesn't necessarily get it with women. A woman would have to say, 'I like you, I want to go out with you, you can ask me.' And still I would question it. Did she mean it?

Englisches Zitat von Priyanka Chopra als Bild

To convince another part of the world that Bollywood is not just jokers who break into song and dance was very difficult. I'm literally ploughing the ground and making people understand that Indian actors are not a joke.

Englisches Zitat von Aileen Lee als Bild

It's not that I am saying that women and men are completely different. But I do think that if you are one of the only people around the table who is a woman, by definition, you're different.

Englisches Zitat von Kerry Washington als Bild

I come from a family with a really strong work ethic - not just my parents, but my aunts, uncles and cousins. It rubbed off on me. I have a cousin in The Bronx who says I'm like the longshoreman of actors. I am a worker.
