Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

I think women look for that quality in a man of being a good dad whether they're immediately wanting to be a parent or not.

My dad was a ham too. He could sell those women anything. Of all his sons I was the only one he could trust to sell as well as he could. I was proud of that.

When I was in nursery school the teachers asked me y'know 'What does your dad do for a living?' So I said 'He helps women get pregnant!' They called my mom and they were like 'What exactly does your husband do?'

When my mom ran for the Senate my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice 'Why should women have any less say than men about the great decisions facing our nation?'

I know this president. And I can tell you that he cares deeply about the next generation of young women in this country - his daughters and everyone's daughters. President Obama had the courage to stand with Sandra Fluke. Without hesitation he defended her right to tell her story.

It was actually a women's writing group I belonged to in graduate school that gave me the courage to move from poetry to fiction.

Throughout the years many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants.

Before I begin talking about the threats we face the vulnerabilities that we have and frankly the courage of the men and women in uniform that stand in harm's way on behalf of a very grateful Nation let me first honor the sacrifices of September 11.

How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold cold bath early in the morning? I jump in throw the water cold as ice and after the first plunge I am happy.

The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to all of the world and we owe them and their families our deepest respect.

Some of the greatest survivors have been women. Look at the courage so many women have shown after surviving earthquakes in the rubble for days on end.

In times of conflict war poverty or religious fundamentalism women and children are the first and most numerous victims. Women need all their courage today.

Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.

Above all we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.

I liked the way my character Shane was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is to a certain extent. She's a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn't apologize for it. It's just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television.

With these men and women who work-for the cause with all their hearts with cool heads and skilled hands we will master every fate.

I do resent that when you're in the most cool powerful time of your life which is your 40s you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age.

There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men but we don't have to be men because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.

The promos with all of the beautiful women probably attracted some men but the mystery story line is pretty cool. It's got that dark edge and people will watch anything funny.

I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.

I'm constantly pitching one episode where we see life through Castle's eyes. I think Castle's just a little off as far as his perception goes. A very very clever man but I want to see the world as Castle sees it - kind of a rose-colored glasses all the women find him irresistible all the guys find him super cool and do whatever he says.

Hats off to starting a franchise younger than we all did in 'Twilight' and keeping your cool. The 'Harry Potter' men and women had what a 10-year run?
