A man can't pass on, like a mother could, an awareness of your body, or sensuality, or what it means to be a woman. I was never taught what femininity was. I learnt it - or rather I invented it - on my own. I tended not to talk at all, if people were staring at me.
Carole Bouquet

David Duchovny
If you have Darwin, Christ and Nietzsche, they're all going to talk at once. You need somebody who listens.
3
Patty Griffin
God as 'He,' as a patriarchal thing, is offensive to me. It's standard fare for America, 'He, He, He.' Every time I hear that it's like another blow against females. It's very radical talk at this point for females to say this kind of stuff, but nationwide I still hear females referring to God as 'He.'
4
Edward Hoagland
There were periods during my childhood when I stammered so badly I couldn't talk at all.
5
LaToya Jackson
Michael and I talk at least every two weeks. He understands why I've done the things I have.

Alex Kapranos
Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.
7
Beeban Kidron
I once gave a talk at a girls' school and, once I'd finished, 29 out of the 30 girls wanted to be film directors. I think that's where we need to get girls interested in making films. We need to give them the idea that they can, that it's one of the things on their horizon.

Faith Prince
Sometimes directors may not give you words, you know? They may not talk at all! You've just got to use your radar to figure out how you can get to the center and not lose yourself, but still be directed at the same time.
9
Janet Street-Porter
Caesar salad is one of my favourite lunch foods. You can shovel it in and talk at the same time.
10
Kara Swisher
Equipped with two cell phones - one for work and another for home - I like to think of myself as a kind of 21st-century digital pioneer, ready to network, fax, page, e-mail and - oh, yes - talk at will.
