If black lives matter, then why is it that black women are more than five times as likely as a white woman to have an abortion? I think the womb that brings forth the black life should matter... Because black lives absolutely matter, what about the babies in that womb? What about that mama?
The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowlands in 'A Woman Under the Influence,' where women are allowed to be messy and imperfect. It's that kind of woman that has always inspired me to seek roles that are a little out of the box. I just haven't always had the opportunity to do them.
I leave abortion to the woman. I just fundamentally end there. I absolutely support a woman's right to choose.
It is good to see women doctors and lawyers and executives. I can visualize a woman president. If I were British, I would have supported Margaret Thatcher. But no benefit to anyone can come from women serving in combat.
We constantly abuse and defend a woman's prerogative to change her mind.
Do I feel that white directors have to tell only white stories? No. Do I feel that black filmmakers should only tell stories about black people? No. If we say that, then that means Asian people cannot write about anybody but Asians. I don't think a woman should only write about women.
I like the collarbone, a very clean collarbone. I think there's something also very delicate and balletic about that part of a woman's body, and I'm not really a cleavage person, but I do like a back or a shoulder; I think there's something very alluring about backless dresses.
I didn't know I was the first woman to have won three world titles, but hey, that's awesome!
I've always been so uninterested in playing any kind of archetype of some pure, innocent, virginal woman. I just don't believe it.
The older I get, the more impressed I am with women. I have yet to meet a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.
As I grow older I spend more time with my wife, and gradually my interest in the woman's world is growing.
If you're going to write, then write a novel with a Haitian woman in it and try and describe her accurately. When you can do that, you can write about people.
The zenith of elegance in any woman's wardrobe is the little black dress, the power of which suggests dash and refinement.
Diane von Furstenberg is an extraordinary woman. She's modern. She's a mother, a grandmother, a leader.
Any woman who is currently with a man is with him partly because she loves the way he smells.
I feel like woman was brought to this world to have family and kids.
The minute I understand a man, he is no longer exciting and a challenge to me. And the last thing in the world I want is for a man to understand me and know what's always going on inside my head. It takes away from all my mystery, which, as I've told you before, is the most important thing between a man and a woman.
My first husband met me as a career woman, and the second did, too. I was lucky.
You could fancy what you'd like, but as a woman, my mother always raised us to believe in ourselves. I am very grateful that my mother brought me up that way.
I support marriage equality and oppose legislation that defines marriage as only being between a man and a woman.
The sexiest thing that a woman can do, wear, and say all fall under one word to me: subtlety. To be subtle in the things that she does and the things she says and the things she wears - I appreciate the details.
There are some professions that culturally and sociologically take a long time to change, and because of that, there's still sexism in comedy audiences. We shouldn't blame them: I do it too. A woman comes on, and I feel slightly anxious. I'm a woman in comedy, and I do that; I think everyone does.
Maybe someday we'll have a woman president. Not me, though.
Are you going to cater to the whims and prejudices of people? We draw out from other people our own thought. If, when you go out to organize, you go with a broad spirit, you will create and call out breadth and toleration. You had better organize one woman on a broad platform than 10,000 on a narrow platform of intolerance and bigotry.
When I talk about feminism, sometimes I feel like being a black woman is cast aside.
I've got quite an old-fashioned figure. Back in the Sixties, girls had boobs, a tummy and wide hips, and bigger thighs as well. I think that's sexy - to me, that's what a woman looks like. I've got love handles - sometimes they're passion handles! I'm built for comfort, not for speed, and I like that about myself.
As an agent, I functioned like a guy. But the fact that I was a woman affected everything.
I kind of resent the suggestion that there would be something inherent about superheroes that wouldn't be of interest to women. That makes me nuts. I'm a 5-foot tall woman with a quick temper who always looks like a child, so power fantasies are not strange to me.
Frankly, I get sick of being considered a 'young woman filmmaker' rather than an individual artist, as a man would be.
In the period before the arrival of Mrs. Thatcher, politics had been in such low esteem. Everything was so hedged, so mealy-mouthed. Then along came this woman who seemed to have no manners at all and said exactly what she thought. Everyone's eyes were popping and their jaws were dropping, and I really enjoyed that.
Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.
No matter how beautiful a woman might be, you're always threatened by certain... You're always threatened by other women, period.
And as a woman, you need to take risks. Don't stay too long in your own swim lane.
I hate the title of being called 'the richest woman in India,' but it's the recognition that this was the value that I had created as a woman entrepreneur, and that makes me very, very proud.
Sometimes men tend to get a little shy, so if the woman wants to make the first move, go ahead!
The heyday of woman's life is the shady side of fifty.
