It's astonishing what some women will put up with just to have a warm body. Some of the brightest women I know are just obsessed with that search. It's very sad.

I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger.

The delta blues is a low-down dirty shame blues. It's a sad big wide sound something to make you think about people who are dead or the women who left you.

I mean the unfair treatment of women and black people and Indians and other groups that's real. Mistreatment of other people because 'I'm better than you are' is such a sad part of the world.

Women are reputed never to be disgusted. The sad fact is that they often are but not with men following the lead of men they are most often disgusted with themselves.

Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena and that's sad.

I didn't know my mother had it. I think a lot of women don't know their mothers had it that's the sad thing about depression. You know you don't function anymore. You shut down. You feel like you are in a void.

There were points in my life where I felt oddly irresistible to women. I'm not in that state now and that makes me sad.

Women often postpone their lives thinking that if they're not with a partner then it doesn't really count. They're still searching for their prince in a way. And as much as we don't discuss that because it's too embarrassing and too sad I think it really does exist.

Forget romantic fiction a survey has found that most women would rather read a good book than go shopping have sex or sleep.

I don't want to be pigeonholed into doing just romantic comedies. But they're fun and especially for women it's nice to go to see them and enjoy that breath of fresh air.

I tend to play strong characters and people just assume that I would want to play romantic comedies which I would love to do but there are other women that do it so great and they maybe couldn't do what I do play the kind of characters that I play.

So many women today have become so focused on their children they've developed these romantic entanglements with their children's lives and the husbands are secondary. They're left out. And the romantic focus is on the children.

Women today are dealing with both their independence and also the fact that their lives are built around finding and satisfying the romantic models we grew up with.

I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.

And I think maybe all women if they just had a chance would be romantic and believe in love and not sex. And men believe in sex and not love.

I love surprises - champagne and strawberries all that pampering romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

I have women coming up to me and saying: 'I love your character! She's so empowered. She takes control she gets what she wants.' That's another side of her. And I respect that in Joan. She says and does things that I would never allow myself to do.

Although a lot of pain for a little screen time Shaving legs waxing eyebrows high heels trying to put on a bra losing weight because women's clothes are SO revealing - Ladies you have my respect.

I have two sisters and a mother obviously so I grew up with a household of girls. Maybe I have a greater respect for women because of it.

A lot of the time the way it's portrayed is that I only see women in a sexual way. But I grew up with just my mum and sister so I respect women a lot.

I know what the attitudes of the readers are: These are guys who love women and respect women.

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women and part of that involves how we present ourselves.
