Every girl in the world should have geisha training

Diana Vreeland

She paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes are deep water. It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances, she sings. She entertains you, whatever you want. The rest is shadows, the rest is secret.

Arthur Golden

Geisha because when I was living in Japan, I met a fellow whose mother was a geisha, and I thought that was kind of fascinating and ended up reading about the subject just about the same time I was getting interested in writing fiction.

Arthur Golden

We don't become geisha because we want our lives to be happy; we become geisha because we have no choice.

Arthur Golden

Singletons should not have to explain themselves all the time but should have an accepted status — like geisha girls do

Helen Fielding

Geisha is always called beautiful even if she is not.

Arthur Golden

It is confusing, because in this culture we really don't have anything that corresponds to geisha.

Arthur Golden

I make video art pieces, take photographs, and dabble in acting ever since my screen test for 'Memoirs of a Geisha' with Steven Spielberg. But music is my first love and always will be my priority.

Jihae

There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.

Zhang Ziyi

A geisha has studied a man's moods and his seasons. She fusses and he blooms.

Arthur Golden

Martial arts is just practice. Being a geisha requires complete control.

Michelle Yeoh

'Memoirs of a Geisha' is everything you'd expect it to be: beautiful, mesmerizing, tasteful, Japanese. It's just not very hot.

Stephen Hunter

What I really wanted to know, though, was what it was like to be a geisha? Where do you sleep? What do you eat? How do you have your hair done?

Arthur Golden

From my opinion, 'geisha' means a woman skilled in the arts. Like dancing, singing and playing musical instruments.

Zhang Ziyi

I enjoy being an actress a lot, because I can feel different women's lives. I have the chance to feel like a geisha one day, and on another day maybe a scientist. That's the interesting part for me. My profession has helped me to grow up.

Zhang Ziyi

The flat shoe makes the woman equal of men. When they have high [shoes], they play a part like a geisha, and they can't be expected to be taken that seriously.

Karl Lagerfeld
