. . . being a feminist means that you believe in civil rights and social justice.
Feminism is a good venue for getting yourself across as much as for getting your point across.
I don't think of myself as a feminist, but if someone calls me a feminist icon, that's fine. I've always stood up for women and myself in general. I have a great love and respect, because I have had beautiful sisters, aunts and my grandmas, but I love men. I totally understand the nature of men.
Colin [Farrell] I talked to several times on the phone, and I said, remember, we have only twenty-five days of doing the movie [Miss Julie], so you must know some of your text. I was a little un-feminist, I didn't want to say [bossy voice] "learn your text!" But when he came, he knew all his text.
I think people resist feminism because they're scared. I think for women, they're scared of being picked on or of being called out. I hear from a lot of young women, you know, I don't want to call myself a feminist because I don't want to get in an argument with someone. And it's just not cool; like it's not a cool thing to be associated with. There's no benefit to saying that you're a feminist.

I would rather be handsome for an hour than pretty for a week.
It's easier to sit there and say you don't like feminists because they don't have a sense of humor.
Any woman whose I. Q. hovers above her body temperature must be a feminist.
When I was a baby feminist, leading feminist thinkers were insisting that if women ran the world, there would be no sadism or war.
The real liberators of American women were not the feminist noise-makers, they were the automobile, the supermarket, the shopping center, the dishwasher, the washer-dryer, the freezer.
[Feminist:] One who believes in the liberation of that which has been suppressed as female in a man.
If we're for one another, we're feminists. The rest is semantics.
In America and in most of the industrialized world, men are coming to be thought of by feminists in very much the same way that Jews were thought of by early Nazis. The comparison is overwhelmingly scary.
Something I say a lot when it comes to anti-feminist stereotypes is that they exist for a reason.
Tolerance is the worst roar of all, including tolerance for homosexuals, feminists, and religions that don't follow Christ.
Our feminist culture at the present moment is completely dependent on capitalism. My grandmother was sill scrubbing clothes on the back porch on a washboard !
