All women should become Hercules!

I love working with women.

The amount of garbage that women are expected to put up with - we're just expected to ignore when a man whistles at us. And it never makes us feel good - it always makes us feel unsafe.

I don't want to hear any more women talk about how they want to be... mermaids.

I get my strength from wanting to teach other women that everything about you is OK, and you shouldn't take any crap from anyone.

If a woman is saying something out loud, she is asking for help, and you have no business to character assassinating her. You have to reach out to her and help her and protect her, and I think we need to protect our women, and we need to protect our children.

In India and elsewhere in the world, the moment a woman speaks out against harassment, people sort of start making all sorts of character judgments about her, about her morality, about what she was wearing, and all such things, and I think that is not fair.

As a woman, absolutely, I have had to deal with people making advances at me, but not just people from the business of film industry but people across different professions and different strata. I think it has a lot to do with power; it is not only limited to the film business.

I think if you want to be seen as an intelligent woman, you can't be someone who feels empowered and sexy. I just don't understand who makes these rules, and frankly, I'm not interested in them.

I don't just want to support only Muslim women. I want to inspire women across the board, and I'm hoping they won't allow things to get in the way.

Wearing modest clothing is a belief, and I'm not going to say that every Muslim woman is in my shoes, but the majority of us do have a choice.

When you're a kid, to be honest, you could be in the worst situation ever, but you're still going to have ways to enjoy it.

I have crushes on women all the time. I don't have intimate relationships with them, but I find women beautiful.

I've always just admired women who were able to navigate through dramatic and comedic waters and sort of do it all.

Women care about their friends.

Women deeply want men who are competent and powerful. And I don't mean power in that they can exert tyrannical control over others. That's not power. That's just corruption.

If women believed in their husbands they would be a good deal happier and also a good deal more foolish.

Temptation is a woman's weapon and man's excuse.

Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.

Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.

Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him.

When women come up to me like, 'I am a freaking senator,' or, 'I'm a doctor,' it's like, 'Damn, y'all like me? I look up to y'all!'

Well, I can't live without a woman. I have to have a woman, have to have a wife.
