There are quite a lot of YouTube clips of me that have gone viral.

If I can challenge old ideas about aging, I will feel more and more invigorated. I want to represent this new way. I want to be a new version of the 70-year-old woman. Vital, strong, very physical, very agile. I think that the older I get, the more yoga I’m going to do.

I was at a restaurant in Glasgow, and I was walking dow

I was at a restaurant in Glasgow, and I was walking down the stairs. A woman passed me and said, ‘Oh my God, what are you doing here?’ I didn’t know who she was, and I was like, ‘Sorry?’ She goes, ‘Oh no, sorry, I follow you on Twitter. I just didn’t expect to see you here.’

When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart’s the last part moves, her last, the tongue.

If you’re my woman, you’re somebody I give emotions to that I don’t give to nobody else. You’re my safe space. I don’t want my safe space to be compromised.
I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.

Nature makes woman to be won and men to win.
George William Curtis
I always believe a woman should have 5 non-negotiables that she should stick to when attracting a mate. If the guy does not have these five major things – then she should not give the guy a chance as she’s wasting her time. The rest is up to the magic and wiggle room the universe gives.
A woman should be like a single flower, not a whole bouquet.
Translation is like a woman. If it is beautiful, it is not faithful. If it is faithful, it is most certainly not beautiful.

Any woman can fool a man if she wants to and if he’s in love with her.

A woman simply is, but a man must become.

Chantal Akerman
I’m dating a woman now who, evidently, is unaware of it.

My plea is that don’t wait for a girl to become a woman to empower them. Empower a girl’s life by giving sanitary pads to them. With pads, we give them wings.
I believe in a man and a woman being equal. I really be

I believe in a man and a woman being equal. I really believe that we can do anything we set our minds to.
In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.
Nancy Astor
The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly was sort of confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned; everything was just perfect. It was this beautiful woman just sort of literally tripped and fell into my life; I fell into her life.
Men have desired, and justly, that women should learn from their confessions in regard to the conflict between man and woman. But woman, because of the conventional conception of womanly purity, has been intimidated from conceding to men a deep insight into her erotic life experiences.
Every man’s dream is to be able to sink into the arms of a woman without also falling into her hands.
I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.
Queen Victoria
After marriage, every woman wants to settle down and have children. I have no regrets. I was occupied in my little world, enjoying each and every experience that came my way.
Women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion.
Margaret Sanger
I would say there is no Prada woman. I’m interested in women in general. I don’t have any kind of preference.

Well, if Fortune be a woman, she’s a good wench for this gear.
I don’t feel the need to defend myself anymore – I am a woman. I feel differently and I think differently than a man. If you’re going to bully me or laugh at me because something makes me emotional – you go right ahead because that’s what makes me a woman, and I don’t want to be anything but that.
I don’t think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman, not a movie. You can’t kiss a movie.

Vampires are so old that they don’t need to impress anyone anymore. They’re comfortable in their own skin. It’s this enigmatic strength that’s very romantic and old-fashioned. I think it goes back to something of a Victorian attitude of finding a strong man who’s going to look after his woman.
The world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.
To the old saying that man built the house but woman ma

To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a ‘home’ might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.
Emily Post
I like a woman with a head on her shoulders. I hate necks.
Maybe the Burberry woman is undefinable! I think it’s less about what she looks like and more about an attitude.

Tommy Cooper
I eat a bit too much; my teeth aren’t perfect; I’ve got eye bags. I look like a normal 39-year-old woman – but in England, no one minds that.

The man in our society is the breadwinner; the woman has enough to do as the homemaker, wife and mother.
Dorothy Fields

Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.
Paul Klee
Mothers really were not built to raise babies not only by themselves, but with only a partner. For millions of years, a woman had much more than just her husband to help rear her young… This whole idea of ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ is exactly how we’re supposed to live.
I’m a multi-faceted woman and person, like all women are – there’s no black and white. We have shades of grey in the middle. And even many more colours that other people don’t see!
A beautiful woman can be painted as a totem only; not as a woman, but as a Madonna, a queen, a sphinx.
Saul Steinberg
Everything comes out in blues music: joy, pain, struggle. Blues is affirmation with absolute elegance. It’s about a man and a woman. So the pain and the struggle in the blues is that universal pain that comes from having your heart broken. Most blues songs are not about social statements.

You can’t be a feminist in the United States and stand up for the rights of the American woman and then say that you don’t want to stand up for the rights of Palestinian women in Palestine. It’s all connected.
If Disney wants ideas for a princess, make her an independent woman, one who is not afraid to face the daily struggles of life, and refuses to wear expensive dresses. Because we all know life is messy, and those dresses are too pretty to get dirty.
A wedding dress is both an intimate and personal for a woman – it must reflect the personality and style of the bride.

Foxy Brown

The tennis ball doesn’t know how old I am. The ball doesn’t know if I’m a man or a woman or if I come from a communist country or not. Sport has always broken down these barriers.
Temptation is a woman’s weapon and man’s excuse.

Gloria Stuart
Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.
This idea that being youthful is the only thing that’s beautiful or attractive simply isn’t true. I don’t want to be an ‘ageless beauty.’ I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.
I have a sense of urgency, of time. I am a woman and am always running between work, doctorsappointments, school meetings, filling up the fridge, then going back to work. Like everyone who combines professional and family life, I am always doing several things at the same time.
Segolene Royal

My mom is my hero, and I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without her.

One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love – any love – reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness.
Cesare Pavese
You know, there’s nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It’s kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen.
