Robinson did not merely play at center stage. He was center stage; and wherever he walked, center stage moved with him.

Roger Kahn

Women are taking the main stage. They are center stage, and they're setting all these records and making history, and I want I be a part of that. I've worked so hard to be a part of that.

Nikki Bella

We often see literature about women that impair and immerse the women themselves, such as when women are portrayed as objects of consumerism.

Okky Madasari

There are older men with younger women but you don't see a lot of older women with younger men. There are some women who have been able to do it but not often.

Tori Amos

Market research shows that older women like seeing older women in ads, and that younger women do, too - because they see them and are not frightened of growing older.

Isabella Rossellini

Nicholas Hytner, who directed Center Stage, is a huge ballet fan. He was completely open, as was Bruce Beresford, to get our perspective. "No, we wouldn't do this. Yes, we would do that. That's not realistic." So, I feel like Center Stage did well in that respect.

Amanda Schull

All too often, it is audacity and not talent that moves an artist to center stage.

Julia Cameron

It's significant that four out of the five nominated comedies were run by women. That's not by accident. Women are storytellers, too. What's particularly exciting is that when it started to change, it changed very quickly, which I think indicates that women have been waiting in the wings for a long time and were ready to take storyteller center stage.

Sarah Treem

In the entertainment industry women are often judged. They judge bigger women, they judge black women, and older women too. We just don't do that in drag. Drag is open to everyone, regardless of gender, body shape or age.

Sharon Needles

Very often I hear talk about female literature, or femininity in literature. It's a categorization I am not sure about. Maybe there are a few elements that distinguish women's observations from men's, like the ability to notice some fine details.

Luljeta Lleshanaku

Women from fashion magazines, they hate other women. They like to tell other women they are ugly and often it works. Women's magazines are mostly about the outside and not about the inside. About make-up instead of arts and literature. Its such a shame.

Oliviero Toscani

Too often, older women are seen as victims, but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life, and children and friends and family.

Francesca Annis

Given the devaluation of literature and of the study of foreign languages per se in the United States, as well as the preponderance of theory over text in graduate literature studies, creative writing programs keep literature courses populated.

Marilyn Hacker

There's no such thing as turning back the hands of time, and it makes me crazy that we live in a society where that's sold to women—that we're supposed to believe that if we're getting older, we've failed somehow, that we have failed by not staying young. I wish that women would let other women age gracefully and allow them to get older and know that as we get older, we become wiser.

Cameron Diaz

Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today's warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children.

Hillary Clinton

I often play women who are not essentially good or likable, and I often go through a stage where I hate them. Then I end up loving and defending them.

Kathleen Turner
