It gave me a lot of pleasure and pride that 90 percent of the crew for 'Monsoon Wedding ' and most of my film are women. We get the work done you know much lesser play of ego... And I really believe in harmony I believe in working in a spirit of egolessness and that the film is bigger than all of us.

I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives their creativity.

There's something brave and touching about game girls of all ages keeping themselves smart in hard times - one thinks of those wonderful women during World War II drawing stocking seams in eyebrow pencil up the back of legs stained with gravy browning because nylons were so hard to get hold of.

We women are constantly at war with our bodies it is hard to find amnesty for ourselves.

This is an important book the critic assumes because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.

The truth is I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.

I have some women friends but I prefer men. Don't trust women. There is a built-in competition between women.

I think women have an innate ability to be intuitive with people that they truly love but they have to trust that inner voice and I think it is there. I think we are more intuitive than men.

Whether you're throwing up or breaking up you want your girlfriend right there! I don't trust women who don't go to their girlfriends.

The people of Wisconsin have been good to me. I've tried to live up to their trust. And now I ask those hardworking men and women and millions like them across America to join our cause and get this country working again. When Governor Romney asked me to join the ticket I said 'Let's get this done' - and that is exactly what we're going to do.
