'Women's' war has its own colors, its own smells, its own lighting, and its own range of feelings. There are no heroes and incredible feats; there are simply people who are busy doing inhumanly human things.
I've always been attracted to women who are assertive and have confidence - qualities older women possess. They've been on the Earth a little longer. They're more seasoned. They don't play games. They know what they want, and they're not afraid to tell you.
When I go back to Texas, I travel the state, and I see people all the time who come up to me, men and women across Texas, and they grab me by the shoulder, and they're afraid. They say, 'Ted, you know, I just lost my health insurance. I got a child with diabetes. I'm scared. Please stop this from happening.'
The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.
A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother's love.

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we've always had: work, or prison.
History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they've answered the call in bravery and sacrifice.
I have no illusions at all about being a sex symbol. None of my former girlfriends ever thought of me that way, and I don't have any packs of women chasing me down the street like a Brad Pitt or someone like that.

Women's rights is not only an abstraction, a cause; it is also a personal affair. It is not only about us; it is also about me and you. Just the two of us.

We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.
If women can be railroad workers in Russia, why can't they fly in space?
On Earth, men and women are taking the same risks. Why shouldn't we be taking the same risks in space?
A bird cannot fly with one wing only. Human space flight cannot develop any further without the active participation of women.
I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.
There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.

We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.
Women are blessed with energy - a power which is unique. I have been very fortunate to have played strong women and explored their strengths through my films.
I buy hats like women buy shoes. I have well over 150.
There's no prerequisites to worthiness. You're born worthy, and I think that's a message a lot of women need to hear.

I'm trying to encourage more women to be themselves, rather than what men want them to be. I don't believe in patronizing either sex.
I've come to the conclusion that beautiful women in the West aren't comfortable finding strength in their femininity. They want to do masculine-oriented things to establish their femininity. It's a contradiction.
My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias.
