Absolutely, I don't believe in rules. As I tell my daughter when she is mischievous, 'Well-behaved women rarely make history.'

My mom was a source of strength. She showed me by example that women, regardless of how difficult life may get, can do it all.

A woman can't be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can't do it by herself.

My personal opinion is that an actor shouldn't bother himself about expanding his market. He or she should just do good films.

A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.

Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals.

Women need opportunity and encouragement. If a girl can climb mountains, she can do anything positive within her field of work.

Soundarya was always respected, and she is looked at in a certain way that I always would like to be looked upon as an actress.

Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral.

All-powerful is a woman who doesn't need to be beautiful, but she has so much attitude that she is marvellous, she is powerful.

It is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.

There is no spectacle on earth more appealing than that of a beautiful woman in the act of cooking dinner for someone she loves.

Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.

My sister was the one person who told me not to change, that my skin was beautiful. She really helped me feel good about myself.

My daughter is my biggest achievement. She is a little star and my life has changed so much for the better since she came along.

Audrey Hepburn is a huge influence on my style. She's classy, confident, and simplistic. She's a tomboy and also super feminine.

You don't want people to think, 'Oh, she was a person who was bitter because she didn't win.' You can't always win at everything.

I was extremely close to my mother-in-law and after she, and later my father-in-law passed away, I continue to feel their presence.

From 30 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 10 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away.

My mom, she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.

I'm not Meryl Streep. My God - she's the greatest actor that ever lived. It's sad that ordinary actors like me are compared to her.

My celeb crush is Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She's hysterical, she's beautiful, and she seems like a normal person. I'm in love with her.

Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.

Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.

You have people who can't act and they get all these parts. Paris Hilton falls into her own category. She's made a career out of it.

Lesli Glatter directed an episode of 'Mad Men' and then came in to direct an episode of 'House.' And she didn't recognize me at all.

My mother was a powerful influence. She made me toe the line. If I didn't have a perfect report card, she showed her disappointment.

Spain, must we some day tell Filipinas that thou hast no ear for her woes and that if she wishes to be saved she must redeem herself?

I think a man needs to be a man. To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you'll be fine.

A man notices a woman's figure when she walks in a room. Women have eight million words for blue; a man says dark blue or light blue.

I was raised in a house where my mom was the primary breadwinner. It was a dysfunctional house, but she showed tremendous resilience.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, 'Where's the self-help section?' She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I was dumped at my senior prom - I was 18 and in love. We danced all night, then she got back together with her ex. It broke my heart.

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.

The bourgeois woman not only demands her own bread, but she also requests spiritual nourishment and wants to develop her individuality.

Powerful women intimidate men. If she's a really well-known woman, she has a career, she's famous - in that case, men are really afraid.

I make the best eggplant parmigiana. Except maybe my mother. The way she makes it is delicious. If I told you how, I'd have to kill you.

I remember when Victoria Wood started to come through, and I thought she was great, though she and I are very different in our approach.

I lost a sister to pneumonia, when she was 2 years old. She died at home, not in a hospital, where maybe her life could have been saved.

When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.

My favourite 'stage' of Shakira was the brunette punk rock one, but she'll always have a special place in my heart, whatever she's doing.

That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.
