My sister wanted to be an actress, but she never made it. She does live in a trailer. She got halfway. She’s an actress, she just never gets called to the set. – Mitch Hedberg
A face that is really lovely in repose can fall apart if, when its owner stars to talk, she distorts every feature. – Loretta Young
Octavia Butler often described herself as an outsider, but within science fiction, she was loved as an insider, someone who was a fan first and came to S.F. writing as an enthusiastic reader. – Karen Joy Fowler
The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn’t any. – Marilyn Monroe
I wouldn’t want to criticise someone like Charlotte Church because she has done fantastically well, but personally I’ve always cared about the long term. – Lesley Garrett
I looked at the race, and I said, ‘Look. Hillary Clinton is going to be hard to beat.’ Another bad prediction on my part, because she’s turned out a lot weaker than I thought. – Mitt Romney
But I couldn’t draw as fast as she requested. Thus, I tried to create the worst abomination of a comic that I could, so as to make her not want comics anymore. That abomination, my friends, was Happy Noodle Boy. – Jhonen Vasquez
I got a feeling that when I have kids, I’m going to have a little girl, and she’s going to be completely sensible. – Justin Townes Earle
My mother sees things but from the distance; she does not weigh them in regard to my position, and she judges me too harshly. But she is my mother, who loves me dearly; and when she speaks, I can only bow my head. – Marie Antoinette
I got my first tattoo when I was 16 years old and I went with my mom to get it done – she has a bunch too so we’re tattoo buddies now. – Josh Hutcherson
I’m a very strong person, and I think that’s why, actually, I find it really infuriating when I read, ‘She had a nervous breakdown’ or ‘She’s not very mentally stable, just a weak, frail little creature.’ – Kate Bush
A director recommended me for the role on ‘Soap.’ They said, ‘She plays heavy roles, murderesses and the like.’ He said, ‘On stage, she could be very very funny.’ – Katherine Helmond
Anthropology was the science that gave her the platform from which she surveyed, scolded and beamed at the world. – Jane Howard

Christine Brinkley, that’s my age range of supermodels. That’s on my radar. This isn’t someone where I don’t know who she is. She turned out to be such a bright light. She walks into a room and just lights it up. She’s just that person. – Jim O’Heir
I actually read ‘Wonder Woman,’ and here’s the thing about her: she’s more of a physical presence than anything else. You don’t get to really know her on the inside. – Jaimie Alexander

I put the cameras on her and told her to be obnoxious as she could possibly could be. She was. – Keenen Ivory Wayans
When I first started, all the media I ever got was, ‘Hey! There’s this Indian girl. And even though she is Indian, she gets views and stuff.’ – Lilly Singh
I know what she used to do sometimes. She kept her best cape she wore on the street in there, and she used occasionally to go up there to get it and to take it into her room. She kept a great deal in the guest room drawers. – Lizzie Andrew Borden
If the novelist shares his or her problems with the characters, he or she is able to study his personal unconscious. – Manuel Puig
I’m a huge Marlene Dietrich fan. She’s got this raunchy kind of strength. It would be hard to find a man who could come up with something hard for her to handle. She’s seen it all and done it all. – Jessica Pare
