I’m not a singer. In ‘Bye Bye Birdie,’ I think I was the sad girl who sits on the park bench during ‘Put on a Happy Face.’
It is clear I was never the Pretty Girl. I had my two front teeth knocked out when I was 10 and didn’t fix them until I was 19.

Honestly, if a girl’s wearing, like, a Gucci shirt with a Gucci belt and a purse and a visor, that’s not cute at all. You can’t get away with that – with me – but you can always sprinkle it in there with your own stuff, and it’s all good.
When you’re a girl, you have to be everything, You have to be dope at what you do, but you have to be super sweet, and you have to be sexy, and you have to be this and you have to be that and you have to be nice, and you have to – it’s like, I can’t be all of those things at once. I’m a human being.
I feel like I’m bipolar. I have my different moods and that. That’s why my music exists in so many different worlds – this moment I’m feeling all raw, this moment I’m wanting to talk to a girl, the next moment I’m wanting to talk about spirit and be deep. Then I’m back to being angry.

Girls didn’t really take much interest in me until I was about 14. But I knew how to talk to them very quickly. What I figured out – that my friends didn’t – was you have to talk to women like you’re not constantly trying to have sex with them. That seemed to work.
For girls and women, talk is the glue that holds a relationship together – and the explosive that can blow it apart. That’s why you can think you’re having a perfectly amiable chat, then suddenly find yourself wounded by the shrapnel from an exploded conversation.

Every relationship I’ve been in, I’ve overwhelmed the girl. They just can’t handle all the love.
My goal is to give girls and boys a different idea of expression. It’s not always about looking pretty or cute. It’s about expressing yourself however that may be, even if that’s being silly or goofy or weird.
If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she’s late? Nobody.
I’m most comfortable in my bare shorts without any underwear and a T-shirt if I’m home. I definitely like to sleep naked. I don’t know how girls do it with thongs. Forget that!

I want to see more girls coming in to the sport. There were actually a lot in Canada when I was riding there, but we can let girls know that they can be jockeys. And if they can’t be jockeys, why can’t they be owners or trainers? We need to invite girls in.
I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.
If you’d asked me when I was six, 16, and 26, I wanted nothing more than to be a big, recognized rock star. Especially when I was six and 16, because I thought that if I was a known guitar player in a known band, only cute girls would talk to me.
I think the reason they cast me as the good girls is because they couldn’t find any in Hollywood.

Adrianne Palicki
An Oklahoma girl like me wouldn’t even know how to be a diva. I’m just a person who has a cool job. I love to be at home. I rarely go to clubs… and I always wear underwear! I just know I’d fall down, and that’s not for everyone to see.
Wonder Woman‘ is much more than a cartoon character. She’s fighting for truth and justice and the secret self that exists in all women and girls. There’s a moral fiber and a goodness about her that all women have.

There was the time I bought three cars in the span of three or four weeks. It was crazy; it wasn’t greedy. It was mine, my girl’s, my mom’s. I got Benzes for my ladies. But I felt crazy. You have to understand I come from a world where we’re very modest. But that’s not greedy. That’s nice, right?
Being trans, I’ve grown up with the understanding that most women are born girls, yet some are born boys. And most men are born boys, yet some are born girls. And if you’re ready for this, some people are born girls or boys and choose to identify outside our society’s binary system, making them genderqueer.
A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other… maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.

The other girls were so comfortable with their bodies and it eventually rubbed off on me.

Caviar is to dining what a sable coat is to a girl in evening dress.
Ludwig Bemelmans
Every girl wants to be pampered and I am no exception.
It’s very flattering to be remembered as a Bond girl with brains and not just for looking good in a bikini. I was a fan of Sophie Marceau in ‘The World Is Not Enough.’ I think her performance was very underrated.
I’m not the girl who always has a boyfriend. I’m the girl who rarely has a boyfriend.
I give myself a cheat day where I annihilate my diet. I’m an all-American girl, so I go for a burger and fries and a shake.
A lot of girls think they have to choose between being the smart geeky type or the beautiful bimbo.
In high school I definitely had a clique of friends. And what I loved about it was that we were healthy and good girls.
One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.
I got bullied in high school. A lot of girls were so mean to me because their boyfriends wanted to hang out with me and my girls, so they pretty much bullied me to the point where I was crying at night.
When I am grown to man’s estate I shall be very proud and great. And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys.
My mother was the fourth generation of women to have worked with the Walker company. As a little girl, I would go to her office while she worked. She was a very capable woman.
The 'cash me ousside' girl isn't even a person. She doe

The ‘cash me ousside’ girl isn’t even a person. She doesn’t exist.
I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.
When Shanthi Ranganathan was the featured turn on ‘Hip Hop Saved My Life With Romesh Ranganathan,’ we learned she didn’t allow him to have a girlfriend until he’d finished university, and she learned – to her unfeigned horror – that he used to sneak girls into the house when she was out.
Girl power is about loving yourself and having confidence and strength from within, so even if you’re not wearing a sexy outfit, you feel sexy.
I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I’m a big shoe girl.
I just love when girls rock short hair, because they can’t hide behind anything. I feel more empowered with short hair.
I’m a real girl. I get it. I gain weight, I lose weight. My styles change.
After my 12th, my parents moved to Bangalore while I moved to Mumbai to study Economics at Sophia College. Much unlike other girls who managed to evade the curfew and organised the slips to get out of college, we would attend college and were interested in academics.
Girls of color and young women need to be seen, heard, and valued. Schools can help make this happen by including our stories in the curriculum.
My worst ever car was a green Datsun B210, back when they called it ‘Datsun’ – now it’s ‘Nissan.’ Very unsexy, unattractive. Girls hated the car. I was embarrassed to even be in it… but it was my transportation.
I’m not the sexy girl. I’m more youthful and innocent, the girl who wears jeans and T-shirts and sneakers. But fans have accepted that I’m a tomboy. There’s a different group of people who find that attractive.
People might think that my queen should be highly educated, beautiful and the best of the best. Jetsun Pema is a kind-hearted girl who is very supportive and whom I can trust. I cannot say how she might appear to the people, but to me, she is the one.
Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck
Let any pretty girl announce a divorce in Hollywood and the wolves come running. Fresh meat for the beast, and they are always hungry.
I have five children. There were four boys. The fifth, I got weak, and a girl came.
Slave girls on Gor address all free men as Master, though, of course only one such would be her true Master.
John Norman
I’m lucky because I had blonde hair for a while for this TV show I was doing – they had me dye my hair blonde – and every audition I was going out for was bleach blonde. The mean girl, the pretty girlfriend, and the dumb cheerleader.
Haley Lu Richardson
I’d like to meet a nice girl and leave all those ‘hottest bachelorlists behind.
Jesse Metcalfe
My big break was really Liz Meriwether saw me in a movie called ‘Paper Heart’ and really liked it, and then saw me in a movie called ‘Ceremony‘ because she knew Max Winkler and said, ‘I want you to be in ‘No Strings Attached,’ but you gotta audition for it.’ From that it was easier for her to get me in ‘New Girl.’
A smart girl leaves before she is left.
Oh the innocent girl in her maiden teens knows perfectly well what everything means.
I went to the University of Vermont because I had a kind of unrequited love for this high school girlfriend. She wasn’t even at the University but at another school nearby. But I thought if went to a school near her, just maybe… I was really remedial about girls in so many ways.
I have learned that not diamonds but divorce lawyers are a girl’s best friend.
Being a pageant girl taught me to be polished, poised and slap on a smile.
I wake up every day, and I’m a Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx. Every single day.
Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero – maybe ever – because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it’s puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way. That’s why he’s such a beloved character: because so many people can relate to him.
If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.
A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.
Gender equality is not only an issue for women and girls.
If the boy and girl walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand in the last scene, it adds 10 million to the box office.
Treaties are like roses and young girls. They last while they last.
I’m such a girl for the living room. I really like to stay in my nest and not move. I travel in my mind, and that that’s a rigorous state of journeying for me. My body isn’t that interested in moving from place to place.
I have friends who have daughters and there's times I t

I have friends who have daughters and there’s times I think I’m glad I have boys instead of girls.
The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.
You can’t go up to girls and start talking about minor 7ths and expect to pull. It’s not going to work.
There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day. That little girl was me.
I certainly was never the pretty girl at school, but I can go to a lot of different places with this face.
At first, I was scared to show fear because you can never be sure how people will perceive you. But I dared myself to do that, to stand out. Now I’ll talk about being beaten up or robbed or making a stupid decision because of a girl or whatever.
Hong Kong girls have a genius sense of style. I came back to the States thinking no one here has any individuality. Or cute enough socks.
Camilla Belle
Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier. The cigars taste better. The trees are greener.
Billy Martin
China‘s one-child policy punishes families for having ‘out-of-plan’ children, resulting in sex-selective abortion and tens of millions of ‘missing girls’ as well as forced abortion and sterilization campaigns.
Chris Smith
We should be teaching young girls to take up space. Nothing is as important as taking up space in society and cementing yourself.
I always play the sweet girl next door.
Tiffany Dupont
I feel like I’m neither a girl nor a boy. I don’t feel like a man.
I will always hold a very special place in my heart for ‘Gilmore Girls.’
I have to tell you, my seven-year-old granddaughter said to my daughter, her mother, ‘So what’s the big deal about Grandma Maddy having been Secretary of State? Only girls are Secretaries of State.’ Most of her lifetime, it’s true. But at the time it really was a big deal.
I think it’s important for girls to be confident. Believe in yourself and… everybody’s hot.
I love sneakers on a girl. I don’t know why, but I guess it’s because I’m still a young. I really like just like a girl who has style – a girl who does her own thing, is unique in what she’s wearing and works what she’s got.
If you can’t see it, you can’t be it. It’s just having those brilliant women break out and do something – then other girls can say, ‘I can do it, too!’
The only way I can lose is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.
Edwin Edwards
Growing up, I was definitely a tomboy, an overall-and-Converse type of girl, and I still am, but for events, I love dressing up.
If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said ‘the ugly girl’.
My goal is to show girls that I’m fighting so they don’t have to, so they don’t have to fight the same battles, so they don’t have to fight for wage equality or whatever it may be.
I don’t get jealous of other girls, because I was… raised in a cloning lab to be the perfect woman for Hugh M. Hefner, so, other than the fact that my I.Q.’s probably a little higher than he would like, I have nothing to worry about.
I used to watch all these great fat women in the audience laughing at the comic, and I would think how wonderful it would be to be that man. He was surrounded by pretty girls, he obviously got more money than anyone else, and everyone loved him.
Benny Hill
A single woman with a very narrow income must be a ridiculous, disagreeable old maid – the proper sport of boys and girls; but a single woman of good fortune is always respectable, and may be as sensible and pleasant as anybody else.
‘Derry Girls’ just has a sense of knowing exactly who these people are and also a fun memory of how things were, even in spite of all the chaos around them. It’s very entertaining and it stays wonderfully buoyant because it focuses on the kids and the families.
I am completely fascinated by the differences and comparisons between real life and fairy tales because we’re raised as little girls to think that we’re a princess and that Prince Charming is going to sweep us off our feet.
I think that a show that is as successful as ‘The Golden Girls’ is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. If you don’t feel proud to be part of a show that has that kind of track record, then shame on you, because that’s a privilege.
Growing up, I wish I hadn’t tried so hard to fit in. I’d tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it’s beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It’s tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get.
If I eat a huge meal and I can get the girl to rub my belly, I think that’s about as romantic as I can think of.
I’m not against half naked girls – not as often as I’d like to be.
Benny Hill
What the heck is true love? I remember feeling, back when I was 12 and ‘going’ with this girl, ‘Is this true love?’
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and

All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Method Man is a rough, rugged street dude, but all the girls love him.
I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.
Joan Crawford
Women today have so many opportunities in fields like engineering. The work is new and engineers are making things work, making the impossible possible. I want girls to know about the opportunities out there.
Judith Love Cohen
I was a roving guard on the Lowell Hebrew Community Center’s girls’ basketball team all through high school. My specialty was stealing the ball, but my only shot was a lay-up.
Elinor Lipman
I don’t get recognized that much. That’s the best part of it. I tend to get things like, ‘You sound a lot like that guy on ‘Deadwood.’ And that’s lovely. I’ve been very fortunate. No giggling, screaming girls. None of that.
To me, the most romantic gesture is a quiet night with my girl. I like to cook for her. I’m a meat eater and a griller – I do steaks, I do chicken, I do fish. I have a broad palate!
Taylor Kinney
You know, if I tell the press that I like long blonde hair, the next day there will be girls with long hair wigs outside waiting for me.
Andy Lau
I look just like the girls next door… if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
I try to make music with emotion and integrity. And authenticity. You can feel when something’s authentic, and you can feel when it’s not: you know when someone’s trying to make the club record, or trying to make the girl record, or trying to make the thug record. It’s none of that. It’s just my emotions.
EVOO is extra-virgin olive oil. I first coined ‘EVOO’ on my cooking show because saying ‘extra virgin olive oil‘ over and over was wordy, and I’m an impatient girl – that’s why I make 30-minute meals!
I want true love, because I don’t have so much time, and I want to spend my time with the right girl.
I would say that the war correspondent gets more drinks, more girls, better pay, and greater freedom than the soldier, but at this stage of the game, having the freedom to choose his spot and being allowed to be a coward and not be executed for it is his torture.
Robert Capa
Well, when I started modeling in the mid-’80s, the girls who did shows did shows, and the girls who did magazines did magazines. That’s what was understood.
I do recommend it for all girls, and boys, out there: put on a pair of fishnet stockings and find your inner sexiness!
I’m a girl, and I’m a cook- I just like to cook, and I don’t like to worry about the distinctions. We’re just supposed to make good food.
I’m more than just a curvy girl.
I think the accessories look very modern and very exciting. These big earrings, these big hoops. I think the girls are sort of falling in love with… collars, neck collars.
I love a girl with a good sense of humour, who is confident but who has a sweetness to her – that melts my heart.
I’m a fixer, unfortunately. I’m like, ‘Oh, I can fix you.’ But it’s not just guys I’m dating anymore. It’s this entire legion of young girls who tell me they need me to maintain any sort of sanity or peace.
I didn’t know how to show my self love, and I didn’t want anyone else to hurt me. So my tough girl attitude was like, ‘I’m not having it.’
I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they now do.
I was obsessed with girls when I was 13 years old; I wasn’t really into books.
I wish you could see some of the girls I have genuinely had crushes on in my life. They’re not the girls you would assume.
At the end of the day, if the guy is going to write the girl a letter, whether it’s chicken scratch or scribble or looks like a doctor’s note, if he takes the time to put pen to paper and not type something, there’s something so incredibly romantic and beautiful about that.
Girls are infinitely more complicated than boys and women more than men. And there’s no doubt about that. We just don’t like to think about it. Certainly the men don’t like to think about it.
The shooting of the guns, that was kind of funny, because rolling a cigarette and shooting a gun aren’t like normal things for a 13-year old girl!
When my girl do better than me, I still win. When I do better than her, she still wins.
I literally have a clearout every two months and I give all my clothes away to my little cousins and stuff. And they just buzz off it. If I was younger, and my cousin or sister was in Little Mix, and they gave me all their hand-me-downs, I’d be the happiest girl in the world.
In my youth there were words you couldn’t say in front of a girl; now you can’t say ‘girl.’
If I can’t get the girl, at least give me more money.
I'm kind of a good girl - and I'm not. I'm a good girl

I’m kind of a good girl – and I’m not. I’m a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I’m a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That’s what the stories in my music do.
Cue for Treason,’ by Geoffrey Trease, radicalized my young girl brain and made me want to be a gender-bending, sonnet-writing anarchist. It really made something roar to life inside of me.
Learning Jimmy Carr riffs off by heart is not the way to anyone’s heart, unless you’re Jimmy Carr. And remember, the two most attractive things in a man is a sense of danger and being able to make a girl feel really safe.
Not to be purple, but I’ve never been a ‘bad boy‘ kind of girl. I like manners.
Toks Olagundoye
My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.
A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or perhaps not even born, Pa and Ma and Mary and Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin.
You can draw inspiration from anything. If you’re a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you’re casually talking to says something that makes you so mad – you can create an entire scenario around that.
No wonder they call shopping ‘retail therapy,’ as any girl will tell you how it just takes away all the stress.
Dance is about portraying and telling a story and whether that be two males, two females, a group of guys, or a group of girls, it doesn’t matter as long as the story is beautiful.
I always enjoyed school, and I enjoyed being focused on learning – and I know that sounds nerdy, but there were so many wonderful elements of going to school with just girls. I wouldn’t brush my hair.
Stacey Farber
All girls like guys who are tough. Obviously, riding a motorcycle – I don’t want to say that there’s a bad boy quality – but there’s definitely a tough and macho thing about a guy who rides a motorcycles and that element of danger. That’s really sexy.
I want to marry Arline because I love her – which means I want to take care of her. That is all there is to it. I want to take care of her. I am anxious for the responsibilities and uncertainties of taking care of the girl I love.
Well, we’re living in a material world, and I’m a material girl… or boy.
Any girl can look glamorous… just stand there and look stupid.
Doris Day
When I was a child, kids used to make fun of me because I was blind. But I just became more curious, ‘How can I climb this tree and get an apple for this girl?’ That’s what mattered to me.
As the years went by, working on Broadway, I started seeing that I had a fan base and that they were mostly young girls. They are looking for someone that they can look up to, that they see as a role model. And I don’t take that lightly; it’s a big responsibility.
Bianca Marroquin
It’s such a funny thing when you see your daughter transitioning from your baby, your little girl, to suddenly being a young woman. If you’re not really looking for it, you can miss it, and Lily-Rose is on that road already, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.
So many girls only care about guys and looking good all the time.
I want to show that the underdog can win. I believe we’re all the same: you, a slum girl, my mother.
Girls we love for what they are; young men for what they promise to be.
‘American Honey‘ takes you into the feelings of a girl travelling through the United States while giddily in love. You see modern America through her intense feelings. But again and again the film pulls the rug out from under your feet – scenes never play out as you expect.
Whenever people say ‘women’s soccer,’ I want to correct them to say ‘soccer.’ Every girl has had their sport diminished because they’re girls.
What has always made our country special is that it doesn’t matter where you come from; it matters where you’re going. Our job is to make certain the pathways are open to both our boys and our girls.
Throughout my life, I’ve always been really close with girls and made friends with girls. And I’ve always been a really sickly, feminine person anyhow, so I thought I was gay for a while because I didn’t find any of the girls in my high school attractive at all.
I’m not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.
Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins.
I remember once acting really cool on a bus with this girl named Stephanie. When I got home, I realized that I had a really big zit on my forehead. If you have acne problems, you really shouldn’t be acting like Don Juan. I should have been contrite – and apologized for exposing her to the angry pimple.
I like a girl who doesn’t play any games. I like a very sweet girl.
Mark Salling
When I see a young girl, I can see why you would be attracted if you were a man. I remember when it was like that for me, too, and it was nice.
I am happy that the young girls have a lot more choices these days and an opportunity to feel better about themselves.
Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't

Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can’t get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.
Yul Brynner
I’d much rather play the psycho than the pretty girl in hot pants.
It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
Alexandre Dumas
I was so rude when I was a little girl.
There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.
It was a lot of fun doing ‘Felicity.’ She had just won the Golden Globe, and she was huge at the time, but she was like the nicest girl ever. As a guest star on a show, you get on the set and you feel out of place, but she was so nice to me and really cool.
Simon Rex
I don’t like girls who are shy, and I get a lot of random girls, like when I go to the mall, none of them want to come up to me, like are they scared of me! They’re all bug eyed.
Mitchel Musso
You may try but you can never imagine what it is to have a man’s form of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.
Anyone with a child knows that children learn about the world through binary options: up or down, hot or cold, big or little, inside or outside, wet or dry, good or bad, boy or girl, man or woman.
My music, my songs are 100 percent inspired by girl power.
Paulina Rubio
I think Taeyang developed this image as a dancing singer, mostly because of records like ‘Only Look At Me,’ and ‘Where U At.’ To me, personally, I think Taeyang tried to make a change on ‘I Need a Girl.’ It gets a little mellower.
I never said I was a ‘good girl.’ I’m not a bad girl.
Every day, women and girls are finding incredible confidence and taking risks. When they change one mind, pretty soon, they have changed one tradition. That changed tradition has changed a village. That one village has changed a country. That new reality means new opportunities for themselves and their daughters.
After I had done the first ‘Pirates‘ movie and ‘Secret Window,’ I went on vacation to escape with my kiddies and my girl, and someone said that there was an island down the road for sale. I said, ‘Oh well, let’s go see it.’ I looked at it, I walked on it, and I was done. It had to be.
Women like me because I don’t look like a girl who would steal a husband. At least not for long.
Jean Harlow
There’s actually a thing called Wikifeet that’s the Wikipedia of celebrity girls’ feet.
I wasn’t the prettiest girl in class. No breasts, short legs, gangly teeth. I didn’t think I was model material, that’s for sure.
Nothing is worse than a beautiful girl fishing for compliments by saying how gross she is. On the flip side, I find genuine humility and modesty attractive.
Girls are like pianos. When they’re not upright, they’re grand.
Benny Hill
To put yourself in another’s place requires real imagination, but by doing so each Girl Scout will be able to love among others happily.
Juliette Gordon Low
When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of many men for the inattention of one.
I’ve worked really hard to bring something more to ‘pretty girl’ roles over the years. I consider it a challenge.
It’s fun being one of the boys. It’s fun to have a character that’s rough and gets down and dirty and not to be this precious girl who just sits in the corner and just sort of stands by the action.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am really into hair. I’m a real girly girl and love doing my hair and experimenting with different styles.
A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.
When I can focus on something like guitar or painting, I do. I started painting people I admire, like Kerouac, Bob Dylan, Nelson Algren, Marlon Brando, Patti Smith, my girl, my kids.
Who said that looking good is not a task? There are so many girls with a well maintained body, but will they be able to walk the beachside in front of the camera wearing a swimsuit? Carrying your body in a certain manner to look sexy is also an art.
Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized.
I’ve never met a girl who could stop me looking at all the others. If I did, I’d marry her.
I don’t think it’s different to be a black girl in England than it is to be a black girl from America. We all collectively share in a pain of displacement and not feeling like we quite belong in places.
Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls!
I always assume that a chick is not into me. So it's ne

I always assume that a chick is not into me. So it’s never natural for me to be like, ‘Check out that girl in the corner. She’s waiting for me to come up to her. I’m gonna to work my six-step process…’
