Bad BunnyLike every parent, when you start your family, your life completely changes. And you completely live for someone else. I find that the most extraordinary thing. Your life is handed over to someone else. From that moment on, they come first in every choice you make. It’s the most wonderful thing.
Angelina JolieI actually feel like women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn’t complain when we consider all of the people who are really struggling and don’t have the means or support. Many people are single, raising children. That’s hard.

Kevin HartBut I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven’t exactly been non-aggressive – including me.

Margaret AtwoodOver the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy.

Friedrich NietzscheI was a proponent of the ERA.
Ruth Bader GinsburgIndependence is a heady draught, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does. It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing. It is addictive and with each drink you want more.
Maya AngelouI think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don’t like that. It’s great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you’re worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.
Angelina JolieI don’t want to be fake. I’m just being me. And I have the power to break stereotypes and whatever useless rules that society puts on us.
