I don’t know why so many people in America hate Hillary Clinton; I found her to be one of the most gracious, intelligent, perceptive, and, yes, classy women I have ever met.

I think women get caught up too much in having a plan – ‘I’m going to get married at this age; I’m going to have a kid at this age’ – and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don’t want my life to be based on that.

Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal.

‘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.
I will not say that women have no character; rather, they have a new one every day.
The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time.
