The woman who doesn’t require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet.

The difference between a broken community and a thriving one is the presence of women who are valued.

I’m a liability to them – I’m a woman, I’m empowered, I’m an artist. I’ve had executives who can’t come to my shows they’re so scared of me. I’ve been a thorn in many people’s sides just by existing.

I wanted to take part in this campaign because it’s so easy to forget the many women who live their lives in fear because of domestic violence. Men have an important role to play in sending out the message that real men do not hurt or abuse their partners.

I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people, women, that they can’t control their bodies.

I’ve come into loving and understanding the feminine side of me. How powerful a woman and her femininity is… how strong, how graceful, how gorgeous, how beautiful. I love getting to know the many sides of myself. I embrace them all.

There needs to be more variety on television so young girls growing up don’t feel pressured to look one specific way. Tall, thin, curvy, short, whatever you are, you are beautiful.

The women that inspire me, to be honest, are the women that struggle.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.

I guess that maybe breasts are the most important part of the body when you think about it, I mean without them employers just wouldn’t know who to give the smaller paychecks to.

My first instinct is great pride for all of us as women who are finding our voices.

If we don’t teach our young girls to speak at an early age, that doesn’t just happen.

Number one, I have great respect for women. I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry.

It’s pretty clear that if men were having babies we’d have different policies.

I am not a woman, so I don’t have bad days.
