Some of the things I've seen a lot of my female-actress friends who are relatively famous receive - I've seen some hideous things. Like some really really bad things... like the FBI should be contacted immediately.

I don't think a female running a house is a problem a broken family. It's perceived as one because of the notion that a head is a man.

I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters - I'm from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered!

Family life itself that safest most traditional most approved of female choices is not a sanctuary: It is perpetually a dangerous place.

The clearest explanation for the failure of any marriage is that the two people are incompatible that is that one is male and the other female.

There's a remarkable amount of sexism on TV. When male characters are flawed they're interesting deep and complex. But when female characters are flawed they're just a mess. It's good to put more flawed but interesting female characters out there because it promotes equality.

As the first Hispanic female governor in history little girls often come up to me in the grocery store or the mall. They look and point and when they get the courage they ask 'Are you Susana?' and they run up and give me a hug.
