There is a reason you keep hearing about the power of educating girls in the developing world. Its a reason so simple that you will probably view it with suspicion, as I once did. It's this: educating girls works. Really works.

Education does loads of things for girls that wont surprise you at all - it provides self-esteem, teaches important life skills, and offers the kinds of choices a good education can give anyone.

I was busy with my family, my budding career as a TV writer, my antipathy for the Los Angeles Lakers, and my general reluctance to engage in anything that might force me to leave my comfort zone. But sometimes ideas won't let you go. For me, educating girls was like that.

She wasn't doing a thing that I could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.

J. D. Salinger Writer

I could not lose unless I was caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.

Edwin Edwards Former Governor Of Louisiana

The act is in itself a lie. You're faking something. The girl is lying there, she's pretending that she doesn't know the camera's on, she's getting banged, and "accidentally" it leaks out? Everyone leaks their own sex tapes! That's a ploy to get famous - that's not about the sex. It's not like when Madonna did her Sex book, and it was an artistic endeavor where she acknowledged it and spoke about it and was so upfront about it. It's different. It's not upfront. It's not honest. It's a ploy to get famous.

Kristen Stewart Actress

Every time I see myself in print or on TV, I feel like a little white girl. I feel fat.

Bun B Rapper

I didn't want to do casting in a way that you find yourself in a situation where there's this perfect girl for a part and you just can't cast her because the family says no.

Deniz Gamze Erguven

Being a girl, my parents could have discouraged me from racing ... but my family has such a passion and so much confidence in me, and that goes a long way.

Danica Patrick Model
