leadership running organization
Our society and our organizations have learned to value masculine, 'quick-fix' traits in leaders. In a primitive society, a rural society, or even the industrial society of the early 1990s, quick fixes worked out all right. But they are less likely to work in a complex society. We need to look at long-range outcomes now. Service and patience are what can keep things running effectively today and women can contribute a lot in both of these areas.
daughter jobs military
[Addressing a group of military officers:] Are you a feminist? Oh ... wrong question. I should have asked, 'Are you a father?' When your daughter loses her job to a clearly less-qualified man, you will discover you are a feminist.
women drama blood
the recurrent drama of menstrual bleeding must have been unnerving to primitive peoples. In man, the shedding of blood is always associated with injury, disease, or death. Only the female half of humanity was seen to have the magical ability to bleed profusely and still rise phoenix-like each month from the gore.

Getting work in theater has always been sort of cyclical.

There is some sadness for me now about acting because it used to be that there was a reverence for actors.

When I see what I want, I do it.

It is so important to get respect for what you do and at the same time give it.
dying helping my-friends
Too many of you, my friends, are dying. Now it's time for me to do my part and help you.
important tiny difficult
Being tiny has been difficult for me in a business that regarded physicality as the most important part of your life.
girl two numbers
Let me tell you girls the three most important things I learned about life: Number one: Hold fast to your friends; number two: There's no such thing as security; and number three: Don't go see 'Ishtar.'

Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles.
