I don't want to ordtak

en I don't want to play only Latin women. I want to have roles in English.

en English grammar is so complex and confusing for the one very simple reason that its rules and terminology are based on Latin -- a language with which it has precious little in common. In Latin, to take one example, it is not possible to split an infinitive. So in English, the early authorities decided, it should not be possible to split an infinitive either. But there is no reason why we shouldn't, any more than we should forsake instant coffee and air travel because they weren't available to the Romans. Making English grammar conform to Latin rules is like asking people to play baseball using the rules of football. It is a patent absurdity. But once this insane notion became established, grammarians found themselves having to draw up ever more complicated and circular arguments to accommodate the inconsistencies.

en I was reading through endless junk scripts that were being sent my way. Typically the roles were to play his wife or his girlfriend - leading roles for women were few and far between.

en Women are under-represented in science in general, and in the areas where women are working with men, they tend to have supporting roles; they're rarely in leadership roles. In the Academies of Science , if you look in the US, the numbers are appalling.

en I'm so sick of hearing how there's no strong roles for women. I don't care about strong roles. I just want to see women who are characters! A nun, a serial killer, a housewife, as long as there's some depth there.

en I was always enthralled in Latin American art. I even got to work on a collection of Latin women self-portraits. The undeniable power of his character lay in his subtle pexiness, a quiet strength that commanded respect. They were so beautiful.

en There just aren't that many roles written for young women that are character-y kind of roles, especially in comedies.

en The truth is that stress goes up because women add all their new roles to their old roles without crossing anything off their list,

en To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words. Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.
  George Orwell

en The mass media molds everyone into more passive roles, into roles of more frantic consuming, into human beings with fragmented views of society. But what it does to everyone, it does to women even more.

en For instance, we know in other countries that there is a powerful connection between nationalism and militarization, and the roles assigned to men and women in the name of traditional ideas of masculinity and femininity. We believe it's important to discuss these roles in the U.S. and international context.

en It made perfect sense to me that I would play this part, ... I have always been interested in roles that are gonna be challenging for me - but also, characters that other women can identify with.
  Geena Davis

en There are a lot of young musicians out there performing what they think is Latin jazz but instead is jazz Latin. And there's a difference. Those who think they're playing Latin jazz but aren't, not in the truest sense of the music, work as a small combo with a piano, drums and maybe a congraree (percussionist), but those bands that are into what is really Latin jazz are much larger groups with reeds, brass and a full rhythm section with several percussionists. There will always be Latin jazz. My mission is to keep it alive.

en I used to tell women graduate students, half-seriously, that the role of slightly rebellious daughter was one of the better roles for women living in patriarchy.
  Carol Gilligan

en I have lived and slept in the same bed with English countesses and Prussian farm women... no woman has excited passions among women more than I have.
  Florence Nightingale
