The notion that somehow women are wildly different infuriates me.
I mean, I'm married first of all to one of, if not the most wonderful women in the world. She is everything - funny, attractive, hard-working, she has integrity, she loves me to bits.
A novel can grant humanity even to those who act inhumanely, and by making men and women of monsters, it can offer not only a ground-level view of a particular conflict, but a descent into the substratum of human nature capable of the incomprehensible.
Personally, I'd like us to have a few more women on the 'Today' programme.
I design to make women feel confident and beautiful.
Most women get pregnant and even though it's a challenge physically and uncomfortable, they generally wanted to be pregnant.
I do think if all politicians were women, the world would be a better place.
When I was in the indies, the guys would be like, 'Ugh, a women's match. I'm not gonna watch that.' And to come back here, at every single Live Event to have a guy come up to you and say, 'That was amazing,' I feel so accomplished.
Throughout America's history, the start of adult life for women - whatever else it might have been destined to include - had been typically marked by marriage.
I am not the first person to give birth naturally. Billions of other women have come before me and have done this - so why can't I do it?
The whole world is starting to realize that it was the most unwise thing for our society to have ignored women power, to run the society with male priorities.
I have no time for it at all, when women just don't like women. I don't get it.
I don't categorize myself. I don't think I'm perceived as a female act by my audience. My fans include just as many men as women.
Our films are changing so people across the world can see them - when 'Highway' premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, a Polish lady said to me, 'It has a strong message for women.' So it's good to know our films are connecting universally.
When I taught, all my best students were women.
When it comes to gossip, I have to readily admit men are as guilty as women.
I did an internship with Dove when they were doing the 'real beauty' campaign, and I was really inspired by that. Growing up in L.A., being a young woman, and seeing how the media tells young women to be everything you're not, I kind of wrote about that experience.
I think women should be more independent. In society, we're portrayed as people who simply wear make-up and sit around. We need a Princess Charming - a woman who rescues her man and slays the dragon instead of the other way round.
You have to be desirable. And that's why so many woman of my age or even younger are pushed to Botox and plastic surgery, all the things that people say, 'Why do women do this?' Where do you go in your 50s in your career?
I have always felt strongly about empowering women. I'm living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.
It feels like a whole other brand onto itself, and I know for the girls - and just speaking for myself - being at NXT has been such an amazing experienc, and I feel so accomplished here as wrestling as a woman and just showing fans that women can do it better than the men.
If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.
One of the big problems in Dail Eireann is the lack of women.
We don't tell women how to look but give them the products and inspiration they need to feel and look beautiful.
Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.
We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.
It is mind-boggling to me that there are so few movies about female friendship, considering women make up half the movie-going population.
On its face, Donald Trump's hateful musings about women and his boastful claims of sexual dominance should be reason alone to drive him from polite society and certainly to blockade him from the West Wing. Yet somehow, his misogyny has instead propelled his campaign to the brink of the Republican nomination.
When women are starting out in their careers, they tend to be confident and look to aspire to leadership role and really want those positions. But then over time, as they advance, they become less confident and don't think they can attain those roles.
In a lot of ways, I think television is better for women than film.
After Mitt Romney's defeat, the RNC released its official assessment of what happened - a failure to reach younger voters, nonwhite voters, women - but was met with a counter-narrative that, in fact, it was Romney's failure to be conservative enough that led to a depressed Republican base.
The pressure to keep up with what society tells us is perfect is causing us to enter a time when women are no longer women, but plastic shells of what women used to be.
The Nordic countries are leading the way on women's equality, recognizing women as equal citizens rather than commodities for sale.
I think women want freedom. They want to be empowered. They want hope. They want love; they want all the things that I want, and I'm not afraid to say those things and act on them, and I think that's why they identify with me.
I'm not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself - then they get to say 'See, you did it yourself.'
Post-military service can be a period of anxiety and uncertainty. So many men and women return and ask themselves: what now? The Labor Department is here to help answer that question with an array of programs designed to clear pathways into the middle class.
