In Hollywood, a starlet is the name for any woman under thirty who is not actively employed in a brothel.

I don't want to be super aggressive, but I think it's an issue that the population of America isn't reflected accurately in a lot of movies. I'm just disappointed that there isn't an Asian leading man or an Asian leading woman. There's an obvious gap that should be filled.

By nature, a woman is independent though she can have bindings. But, she is a lone performer.

When a woman says the connection is gone, don't tell her how hot she is. A connection is more than someone's appearance.

I would love to see every woman feel that she knows who she is and how she wants to lead. Every part of me is passionate about having the ability to do what I never could do when I was young.

Look, my mother's not a welfare woman. She certainly had plenty of help. But there's no substitute for a husband and partner.

I don't think the people in power realize how detrimental it can be to a way a girl looks at herself if she flips through a magazine and only sees one type of woman.

Among all the 'awards' that I have hitherto collected, I consider the title of 'patita' or 'fallen woman' to be the highest. This is an achievement of my long-struggling life as a writer and as a woman.

I feel like directing is more about who the individual is rather than if they're a man or a woman. It's kind of hard to generalize and group all of us female filmmakers into one group, like we're all going provide you with the same thing, because we're not. We're all individuals.

I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.

Everyone thinks I'm this jock of a woman, but I didn't play any sports. I didn't even let my kids play baseball because I was afraid they were going to get hit by balls.

Michelle Obama has gone from political skeptic to political partner to a woman with a White House agenda of her own, and an approval rating higher than the president's.

I considered Hef a one-woman man.

It's the nature of man to give and receive - to be man and woman, all in one.

I was always the sideline reporter or something similar to that - which is essentially, but this isn't always true, the 'woman's job.'

I think it helps in any comedy room for a woman to have very strong, respected convictions, because then it opens the door up a little bit for other women to have that.

A diverse elite may be good in its own right, as a matter of justice and representation. But nothing about being a woman or a minority makes you immune to meritocracy's ruthless solipsism.

What it means to look like a woman or man changes regionally - from mannerisms to clothes to posture to makeup to even your vocals - so I just observe, and I replicate.

I'm a grown woman. The haters are definitely wrong if they think I care.

There is a woman at the beginning of all great things.
