I've been working on Barb for a while. I looked at her as a sort of every woman. She's incredibly strong; she's incredibly generous. She's seemingly insane because she is in the situation of a polygamous relationship, but she had definite reasons to do it.

I'd really been wanting to do a television series. I was looking for a comedy.

I've been playing tennis, and just whatever sport is in front of me I will do.

The three of us acting was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had. I really look forward to the days when all three of us shoot together, because the sparks really fly.

I've had the same friends for ten, fifteen years.

But on the other hand, I talked to a woman who was a working woman, and it was actually great for her, because she had her husband one week of the month and the other three weeks, while he was with his other wives, she got to pursue what she wanted to do.

The government doesn't really prosecute for polygamy anymore, but a lot of the arrests are of groups supporting themselves through welfare scams or for child abuse. So that was all I'd really heard about polygamists.

But I don't think that it's a form of family that I would be comfortable in. I've found a way to this character and this family, but I still believe that a marriage is between two people and not seven or three.

Finally, after a lot of searching and digging, it was simply the love of family that gave me a road into the character. Once I got into that, and we delved into what it would be like to survive cancer and the ability to see how precious life is, it became easier to play her.

It was really important in my relationship with James Caan that I understood the relationship between the family and the father.

It was difficult every ten days having a new director. I'm a real collaborator and, as an actor, I want to be directed. It's hard for me to shift gears.

You hear about these shows where there are all these women are supposedly always in a catfight, and then you find out in reality that they're all getting along fine.

But we're all so different, we're different ages; we're not vying for the same roles. There's no competition, there's really kind of a sisterhood, on and off the set, you know?

I've been working on Barb for a while. I looked at her as a sort of every woman. She's incredibly strong; she's incredibly generous. She's seemingly insane because she is in the situation of a polygamous relationship, but she had definite reasons to do it.

Well, I think a lot of people only hear about the extreme, fundamentalist kind of polygamists, because they're always in the news being brought up on charges.

The press seems to love pitting women against each other.

The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not.

But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he's in a place where I wouldn't have expected him to be - taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend's wife.

Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.

I believe that if a man does a job as well as a woman, he should be paid as much.

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

What becomes a crime deserving capital punishment when the tables are turned is a matter of small moment when the negro woman is the accusing party.

There is a neurologist, a woman over at Harvard who wanted me to come talk to them, and in France I have a lot of readers in the sciences. I can't tell you why.

Has made an honest woman of the supernatural.

A woman who thinks she is intelligent demands the same rights as man. An intelligent woman gives up.

I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life's knocks.

Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior.

We say of an animal that it is intelligent, and we say the same thing of a woman; but in neither case is it usually appropriate, clearly for very different reasons.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

I would not like to be the only woman on the court.

There is no corner too quiet, or too far away, for a woman to make sorrow in it.

If he didn't fall in love he would have never come back near the end of the film. Because, what man is going to dishonor himself so that he comes back in front of the man that took a woman away from him... and warns her to save her life?

One needs a Seer's Vision and an Angel's voice to be of any avail. I do not know of any Indian man or woman today who has those gifts in their most complete measure.

Man is jealous because of his amour propre; woman is jealous because of her lack of it.

There is no such thing as a dangerous woman; there are only susceptible men.

No stranger ever comes up and talks to me. I'm the invisible woman.

Nymphomaniac: a woman as obsessed with sex as an average man.

To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.

Men should think twice before making widow hood woman's only path to power.

Being the first woman speaker and breaking the marble ceiling is pretty important. Now it's time to move on.

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

I expect Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.

A true woman always loves a real soldier.

This bored fantastic woman, with her animal nature, giving herself the pleasure of seeing her enemy struck down, not a particularly keen one for her because she is so weary of having all her desires satisfied.

Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman's natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.

It has ever been since time began, and ever will be, till time lose breath, that love is a mood - no more - to man, and love to a woman is life or death.

Men don't want another man to look at their woman because they don't know how to handle it.

I like being a woman, not a girl.
