My dad treated me like a boy because he grew up with four brothers. He didn't baby me. He was never, like, "You're a girl, you can't do this." I never felt like I had to put a feminine spin on anything, I just wanted to do what the boys did as good or better.

You learn that you can never not work. If you really want to make it to the big leagues, there's no such thing as "I'll start this first thing Monday" - you gotta do it now.

Kid Sister

You have to find the line between working hard and being a workaholic. I know a lot of those bigger-name guys are workaholics, and I don't know if I want to go that far. One day I would like to have a relationship and a normal social life, so it's all about striking that balance.

Kid Sister

For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish ora German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making "ladies" dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.

Girls could do most things as well as boys, and some things better.

Louisa May Alcott Novelist

There are so many girls, and so few princes.

Liza Minnelli Actress

The best thing a girl can be is a good wife and mother. It is a girl's highest calling. I hope I am ready.

Nancy E. Turner Author

When girls come up and say, "You're my role model," it's really flattering, but it's also really scary because I'm not perfect and I'm going to make mistakes.

Ashley Greene Actress

People make fun of Jersey girls, but I think they're just jealous.

Teresa Giudice Television Personality

When you look at Steven Meisel's pictures and you see girls rolling around in mud or cars are blowing up? It takes a tremendous amount of courage to be able to do that. I think you have to be malleable, and that's what makes a truly great model. It's not the perfect lip or the perfect face, it's your own ability to take on a character and that's, I think, something there's a misconception about.

Michael Flutie

What happened is I was going to college in 1950. L. A. City College. A guy I knew was going to an acting class on Thursday nights. He started telling me about all the good-lookin' chicks and said, "Why don't you go with me?" So I probably had some motivation beyond thoughts of being an actor. And sure enough, he was right. There were a lot of girls and not many guys. I said, "Yeah, they need me here." I wound up at Universal as a contract player.
