If there's specific resistance to women making movies I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender and I refuse to stop making movies.

What is being called the UN 'gender architecture' is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality.

We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone alone in patches alone in groups alone in races even alone in genders.

Religiosity turns out to be the best indicator of civic involvement: it's more accurate than education age income gender or race.

American Idol transcends age gender ethnicity everything.

Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession education hours worked age marital status and children men still are compensated substantially more - even in professions like nursing dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap.

I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something. I think if anything the press kind of because of my gender and my age tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It's part of the cultural dynamic I guess.

The one thing that unites all human beings regardless of age gender religion or ethnic background is that we all believe we are above-average drivers.
