As to honor - you know - it's a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of. It wasn't theirs.
So women are at the beginning of building a language, and not all women are conscious of it.
In my generation, except for a few people who'd gone into banking or nursing or something like that, middle-class women didn't have careers. You were to marry and have children and be a nice mother. You didn't go out and do anything. I found that I g...
I was never a spy. I was with the OSS organization. We had a number of women, but we were all office help.
I did things like Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait. I don't know what those films were about. The women I played in them were not very empowered.
It was described as Sex and the Suburbs. It's so not that. Because on Sex and the City, those women told each other everything; on our show, it's much more like the real suburbs - nobody tells anybody anything. Everything's a secret.
It's still about the women. It's not called Desperate Plumber. People are more interested in cat fights.
People identify with me - everyone does - African American women, Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I'm ethnic.
There's a reason women are pregnant for nine months; by the end, you're ready to have this baby.

I am not sure gender ever won't be an issue in comedy, because I think that women do have different priorities in some respects.
Women are more emotional, and it's natural to talk about it.
People often ask why comedy is harder for women, and the reason is because a tampon will sometimes fall out when you're on stage. Blokes don't have that worry.
It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.
Basically, women have to prove they are strong at all times. And then when they go on the attack, they have to not appear mean because those women often get the label of being catty.
I have about 20 to 25 platonic relationships with women all across the board from professional to artistic and they always give little clues on what they like.
Then I was playing the piano at eight, and that helps you learn about women because most of the people I was playing for were women.
I am blessed beyond reason with women friends.
