We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women's voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.
It's hard to make something as large as a government change. It's a little bit like building the transcontinental railroad.
Writing about the future and the past is less a way of dramatizing change than of showing, by way of contrast, what abides.
Computers tend to separate us from each other - Mum's on the laptop, Dad's on the iPad, teenagers are on Facebook, toddlers are on the DS, and so on.
Because Dad was famous, I was so used to being identified as 'John Huston's daughter' that I couldn't think of myself as anyone else.
I loved Dad more for treating the biological reality as trivial, irrelevant. He loved me no less than his other three children.
My dad was a big Frank Zappa fan, so I remember listening to a lot of Frank Zappa. Girls do not like Frank Zappa.
There's sometimes a weird benefit to having an alcoholic, violent father. He really motivated me in that I never wanted to be anything like him.
I pop gum. My parents get so annoyed with me. I know my dad wishes he never taught me how to do that.
My dad believed in scaring us as we were growing up. Scaring the boys who wanted to date us more.
My dad was quite a forbidding figure. I realise now that that was mainly because he worked so hard. He wasn't unkind, but he was a presence.
My dad used to say, 'You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.
My dad was a presence, of course, but he worked nights a lot, and I would only see him one day a week.
Relationships in general make people a bit nervous. It's about trust. Do I trust you enough to go there?
My father had very little formal education.
I just thank my father and mother, my lucky stars, that I had the advantage of an education in the humanities.
Education must, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them.
One of my great laments is that education today seems to have... be less about passion and more about process, more about tactic or technique.
My idea of the ideal sex education site doesn't exist.
We never had it as rough as the kids have it today. Look at the price of a gallon of gas or a piece of real estate or a college education.
Sporting events like the Olympics have developed and maintained a clear message of promoting gender equality as an essential criterion in the success of any international event.
