As a woman I can't go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else.
‐‐ Jeannette Rankin
As a woman, I feel it's important to support causes that are important to my core customer, who is also a woman, as well as causes that resonate with me personally.
‐‐ Natalie Massenet
As a woman, I feel women get the shaft all the time.
‐‐ Rita Wilson
As a woman, I find it very embarrassing to be in a meeting and realize I'm the only one in the room with balls.
‐‐ Rita Mae Brown
As a woman, I have an inherent need to be all things to all people, to make certain everybody's taken care of. I know I can't sustain that level all the time, so I'm finding the proper balance and it's made me infinitely happier.
‐‐ Sarah Jessica Parker
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
‐‐ Virginia Woolf
As a woman, I have tried to take advantage of the extra access I have in the Muslim world: with Muslim women, for example. Many people underestimate women in that part of the world because, typically, they don't work.
‐‐ Lynsey Addario
As a woman, I know that if I write about another woman, it will be perceived as a catfight.
‐‐ Maureen Dowd
As a woman, I'm expected to want everything to be nice and to be nice myself. A very English thing. I don't design nice buildings - I don't like them. I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality.
‐‐ Zaha Hadid
As a woman, I've learned that having a uniform of your staples or setting your look and saying what distinguishes you - like red lips or hair or whatever - leaves so much time for the rest of the day.
‐‐ Natasha Lyonne
As a woman in Canada, I get to do whatever I want to do, and I'm used to that. I'm used to not having my government tell me my life is going to be restricted because I'm female.
‐‐ Deborah Ellis
As a woman, it seems you can't just be a comedian; you're always classed as something else, too, whether that's 'beautiful,' 'pint-sized,' 'larger-than-life' or in my case, 'Hattie Jacques-esque,' 'the giraffe,' 'big.'
‐‐ Miranda Hart
As a woman leader, I thought I brought a different kind of leadership. I was interested in women's issues, in bringing down the population growth rate... as a woman, I entered politics with an additional dimension - that of a mother.
‐‐ Benazir Bhutto
As a woman, my style defines my leadership. It's a gentler, more compassionate approach. I consult, I listen and I compromise where it's in the best interest of the citizens.
‐‐ Kamla Persad-Bissessar
As a woman of a certain age - and really, ever since I hit puberty and my baby-making parts were suddenly subject to public debate - I've been told over and over again that I will 'change my mind' about not wanting kids.
‐‐ Jen Kirkman
As a woman standing up here, we have to fight for the rights of women.
‐‐ Suzan DelBene
As a woman, we all want to feel attractive. We all want to feel that we're making the very best of ourselves so we can accept ourselves.
‐‐ Gwendoline Christie
As a woman who has some sort of power, you have to have a man that can take that. It's hard to find those men.
‐‐ Jessica Simpson
As a woman, you feel that you shouldn't want to better yourself against others. Ambition has become such an ugly word, hasn't it?
‐‐ Rosamund Pike
As a woman, you need to take control of your health. There's no harm in going in and getting checked out. Eventually, you have to ask yourself: 'Do I want to live at 100% or 80%?'
‐‐ Summer Sanders
As a woman, you're not accessible to every world.
‐‐ Zaha Hadid
As a woman, you spend so much time either cooking or getting ready to go somewhere. I like to have music when I'm doing either of these things.
‐‐ Zoe Saldana
As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna.
‐‐ Sandra Oh
As a working-class actor, leaving school with no qualifications, being a printer and then becoming an actor and then working with people who to a certain extent had had a leg up. I never had that advantage. It's less an artistic need to express myself and more a need to prove myself.
‐‐ Eddie Marsan
As a working mom, I struggle to find time to work out and go for runs. I usually run two to three times a week and work out with a trainer once a week. I try to go for a longer run on Sundays.
‐‐ Norah O'Donnell
As a working mother, the last thing you need is to be hard on yourself. As a stay-at-home mother, the last thing you need is to be hard on yourself. As a twenty something with no job prospects or life partner in sight, the last thing you need is to be hard on yourself.
‐‐ Karen Finerman
As a working mum, it's really hard to find time in the day to just relax and take a break. I am constantly on the go.
‐‐ Kirsty Gallacher
As a world leader, America must be prepared to confront any challenge.
‐‐ Christopher Dodd
As a world view, Darwinism cannot of course be refuted, since Faith is, always has been, and always will be, stronger than facts.
‐‐ Francis Parker Yockey
As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.
‐‐ Amy Sherman-Palladino
As a writer and a mom, I wish I could split into two or three different people so I could be with my kids all day, write all day, and go out and do the interviews all day. Multiplicity woman!
‐‐ G. Willow Wilson
As a writer and as a reader, I really believe in the power of narrative to allow us ways to experience life beyond our own, ways to reflect on things that have happened to us and a chance to engage with the world in ways that transcend time and gender and all sorts of things.
‐‐ Kim Edwards
As a writer and sometime activist who needs to promote my books and articles and occasionally rally people to one cause or another, I found Facebook fast and convenient. Though I never really used it to socialize, I figured it was OK to let other people do that, and I benefited from their behavior.
‐‐ Douglas Rushkoff
As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.
‐‐ Frank Ocean
As a writer, as a lyricist, you're just trying to make sure that you're not repeating yourself. And that's a danger for a lot of people. So for me, I just try to keep taking corners and trying to find new paths.
‐‐ Corey Taylor
As a writer, as much as I try, I can't stop writing female characters. They have so much more to offer; they have to wear so many different hats. There's so much wonderful gray matter in a female's life that it just makes for a stronger character.
‐‐ Tate Taylor
As a writer, being on the set of 'Gravity' was such a surreal experience. It was nice to see them using the technology to translate what we had on the page.
‐‐ Jonás Cuarón
As a writer, Chris Columbus was a big influence. 'The Goonies' was the first movie I ever saw that kids speak normally and not imagined how kids would talk. Always a big fan of Chris Columbus' dialogue and storytelling.
‐‐ Adam Green
As a writer given to the old formalities of rhyme and meter, I sometimes feel endangered these days.
‐‐ X. J. Kennedy
As a writer, I always peel back the layers, go to the most sensitive places uncomfortably close to the heart.
‐‐ Derek Cianfrance
As a writer, I always tend to take the liberty and the great artistic luxury of a composite form of writing.
‐‐ Dwight Yoakam
As a writer, I always think about who my prototype actors are, in my brain. It's helpful, as a writer, to think about that.
‐‐ Carlton Cuse
As a writer, I always try as hard as possible to get out of the way of the story, so maybe that's the most important thing my readers should know - I'm all about the story, not about the ego.
‐‐ Simon Toyne
As a writer, I am an intellectual. I believe in the ideals of the Enlightenment, I believe in the written word, in dialogue and in truth. I hate lies more than anything else. Most of the time I react by writing.
‐‐ Henning Mankell
As a writer, I am constantly aware that I take my life in my hands with everything I do and say. It's just a fact of life. For me it always has been.
‐‐ Mohsin Hamid
As a writer, I am not goddess of the universes I create. I am at most a stage manager of the plentiful gifts which tumble out of the horn of plenty, which is to say there is a source so sweet and forgiving and generous that I pray every day to let that source be my guide.
‐‐ Rebecca Wells
As a writer, I can't be a heroic sword fighter like General Dumas, but I can rescue someone who's been taken out of history by using my writing to bring them back.
‐‐ Tom Reiss
As a writer, I can't really take days off. Writing is like creating an art. Once you stop writing, you can lose your rhythm and context, meaning that your writing may lose its power.
‐‐ Andrea Hirata
As a writer I care about America, and care about its carelessness.
‐‐ Andrew O'Hagan
As a writer, I challenge myself not to tell the same story - to tackle different characters with different issues.
‐‐ Eric Jerome Dickey
