I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women's movement. And I wasn't at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me.
My dream was to become a very small blonde movie star like Ida Lupino and those other women I saw up there on the screen during the Depression.
Working women wore hats. It was the only way they would take you seriously.
We are affirming human rights for all women and girls, acknowledging the full range of diversity that exists, and detailing actions to prevent violence.
I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.
Bias has to be taught. If you hear your parents downgrading women or people of different backgrounds, why, you are going to do that.
I'm not a competitive person, and I think women like me because they don't think I'm competitive, just nice.
Sometimes women get devastated by failing. Athletes don't; they just know that means they've got to practise harder, and they've got to do something else differently.
Sponsorship involves putting your own political capital at risk, so they are going to help that person to succeed. Women get promoted; they don't get sponsored. Women know they are on their own if they get that promotion.
Mentorship has been an excuse not to promote women.
Each individual piece is a calculated attempt to entice women to add to their wardrobe.
Something about glamour interested me. All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette.
I should point out that I was intimately involved with a group of women here a year and a half ago when there was an effort made by a right wing element in the President's party to get him to turn back the clock.
The most common mistakes women make when applying makeup are not applying it in the proper light and not using their hands as blending tools.
So much of what I do is about inspiring and empowering women.
Many women like to wear nude eye shadow during the day, but it doesn't really do much for you. Instead, try one that's a few shades lighter than your skin tone.
I am in an industry that makes women feel bad about themselves, absolutely.
My gender has never been an issue or a limitation. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by strong women growing up, and with them as my role models, I was never limited by the traditional roles women find themselves in.
Women get more unhappy the more they try to liberate themselves.
I think Halle Berry is one of the most beautiful women on the planet.
Women need to hear the words, 'It's okay if things don't go exactly the way you want them to.' Give yourself a break!
