The question people ask me all the time is, 'How was it playing a gay character? How was it pretending to love a man?' And I don't mean to be abrasive, but that's just the stupidest question in the world to me. To assume there is a difference is ignorance. You're born a certain way. I was born loving women. I could have been born loving men.
— Trevante Rhodes
People lie in everyday conversation to appear more likeable and competent. While men and women lie equally as often, they tend to lie for different reasons.
— Travis Bradberry
James Patterson has a way with female characters. He understands women in a way that a lot of male writers don't.
— Tracy Pollan
Women with low self-esteem love bad boys. Women who have work to do love bad boys. Women who love themselves love good men.
— Tracy McMillan
Is our desire for partnership just an evolutionary remainder, a Togetherness Delusion, where millions of women only think they need a relationship to be truly happy? Maybe. But you know what? That's fine with me.
'Little Women' made me into a reader.
— Tracy K. Smith
Men are able to sustain a career into their 50s and 60s and still present themselves as sex symbols. With women, on the other hand, people say, 'Why doesn't she retire?'
— Tracy Chapman
Juice fasting destroys your metabolic rate. I see a lot of women who are like, 'Oh, I lost seven pounds and then I gained 10.' That's not what detoxification is about.
— Tracy Anderson
I think culturally, even if you just talk about it in context, the standard of beauty has not included women of color. Period. Not just black women. If you are not a certain thing, there has not been space for you.
— Tracee Ellis Ross
I used to watch my mom put her makeup on for the stage, and it was one of the most special moments. I would sit quietly on the dressing room floor and watch her put her face on. I think she looks most beautiful in the morning when she wakes up with no makeup on... it's my favorite look on women.
It felt like home to be working with so many powerful women - Lizzo, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu. I felt so welcome and loved.
— Trace Lysette
We have to be intentional with including trans women, all women, all marginalized people. Whether we say 'Me Too' or call ourselves feminists or strive to create a diverse workplace that reflects the world we live in, it's all about being intentional.
For a while, I was nervous about portraying women because of the objectification that automatically comes with it, whether the artist intends or not.
— Toyin Odutola
I'm proud to be American and very happy that women like my brand.
— Tory Burch
It's very passe to think women want to spend a fortune on clothes.
I always want to write erotic music... Not only about the love between men and women, but in a much more universal sense - about the sensuality of the mechanism of the universe... about life.
— Toru Takemitsu
My kids will grow up in a house knowing that it's perfectly normal for two men to be in love, it's perfectly normal for two women to be in love. My kids will grow up knowing it's all about love. It doesn't matter who you're with and everyone should have that experience.
— Tori Spelling
Women are so complicated, it's unbelievable.
— Travis Fimmel
In junior high, I sang in madrigals, men's' and women's' choir. I played piano too, but then I got out of it.
— Travis Barker
All women like to look up to their men.
— Tracy Morgan
Women blame men for their own singlehood.
I've been standing at water coolers for the past thirty years talking to women about their love lives, and here's what I've learned: Eventually, most women I know want to be partnered.
Younger women tend to be busier, wearing more layers and more make-up. I don't know if it's because older women are more confident, or just that we don't care any more. But that pared-down approach is the same with the sentences I write; I take out adjectives and adverbs and keep the description to a minimum.
— Tracy Chevalier
Pam has always been my glamorous big sister - 13 years older than I. She played on the women's circuit for nine years and came home to tell me stories of France, Japan.
— Tracy Austin
Women, at 50, are on a plateau with their careers, but later they ascend.
— Tracey Emin
What I think is exciting is that, to a certain extent, there is a revolution happening where black women are owning their own beauty, despite the standard of beauty that in the past has not had space for it.
We as black people are not a monolithic bunch. We are not all the same, and neither are women. Instead, we are all individuals who have these extraordinary stories to tell and share with each other that will enrich all of our lives and help us all become more ourselves and better people.
Trans women, and women in general, have so many constraints placed on our bodies. As women, we are told not to show our bodies, and as trans people, we've been told not to exist.
Trans women are conditioned to accept that society sees us as overly sexualized objects - even more so than how society already sexualizes cis women. It's almost as if they don't see us as fully developed human beings.
All men are chums who will never leave each other in the lurch. A chum doesn't forgive, he just forgets - women forgive everything but never forget. Being forgiven is very unpleasant.
— Tove Jansson
I wanted to help women and their families.
I think women want to look beautiful. I think that's an important thing. It is relevant.
If there was one thing I'd like to teach young women, it would be that you can eat and still be fit and lean.
— Torrie Wilson
I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.
— Tori Amos
I've been misunderstood when it comes to women. I've got a big heart and a little brain. But I love women being women; there's something about their skin. I do love strong, independent women, but they are definitely complicated.
You can make clothing as art, but I like the idea of my clothes actually being worn and being useful to women.
— Tracy Reese
White women love me 'cause of my edge. And I love white women.
Putting my words piece online was an important part of my plan to help women learn how to love themselves and have a better life.
I talk to women for a living. It's pretty much what I do with my day.
There have been some gains made in terms of more equality for women in the workplace and in the way the legal system deals with issues of violence against women.
A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that's the worst thing.
Using my voice to recognize and celebrate other women is a joy for me.
I'm attracted to bold women - I collect them. I met one of my best friends when we both were about 22 and working at 'Mirabella' magazine. I was wearing this blue dress I had borrowed from my mom, and I didn't know I had deodorant lines all over it until my friend signaled to me.
Trans women should be accepted and celebrated, whether they look a little bit more on the masculine side of the spectrum or they're the femme of all fems.
Trans women are women, we're just a different type of women.
I think that trans women have endured a lot and they compromise a lot when dealing with cis hetero men.
There's a negative connotation to ambitious women, and I think that we should be able to be proud of being ambitious and not shy away from that, if that... is what you want to do.
Each job I had wasn't necessarily the perfect job, but I always talk to young women about how you really have to take certain things from each job and learn from that and then move on to something you really want to do.
When I think about fashion I think women will never lose that appetite for fashion.
Fernanda Andrade and Daphne Zuniga are two beautiful, inspiring women I met and became very close with while living in L.A. Daphne's father is from Central America, and Fernanda is originally from Brazil.
