I enjoyed playing someone who is a professional, intelligent, defined by her work and not her role as a wife or mother.
Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.
I respond to women who have their stuff together, who are in charge, who don't need men to do things for them. I want a woman to have her own thing, you know? My wife is very smart. She's got a doctorate degree; she's got her own career going. She doesn't need me to take care of her.
A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, but a beautiful woman with a brain is an absolutely lethal combination.
A well-read woman is a dangerous creature.
I play Dr. Karen Boyer in 'Spies Like Us.' She's strong, intelligent and dedicated and just happens to be beautiful.
My feminist icon is Michelle Obama. To me she represents the definition of a strong and intelligent woman who has used her platform for so much good.
The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That's still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.
I think the thing about Anne Boleyn is there is an exotic quality to her. This is a woman who wasn’t raised in the English court. She was in the French court and Hapsburg court. She has a continental exotic quality to her. She’s quite a fiery woman and incredibly intelligent. So I think Anne really stood out – fire and intelligence and boldness – in comparison to the English roses that were flopping around court, she would’ve stood out. And Henry noticed that.
Don't be silly. I'm a mature, intelligent woman. Of course I'm afraid of my mother.
Sarah is very strong. She's really intelligent and she's very physically capable. I like to put that into my own life as well.
A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition.
My mother was a terrific force in my life. Wartime-generation woman, hadn't gone to university but should have done. Was very funny, very verbal, very clever, very witty.
As an actress, and as a person, I really admire Diane Keaton. She's feisty, strong, beautiful and talented, and intelligent.
Roy received my comments with a forced smile. "Hardy, didn't I warn you not to date a woman who reads?" Hardy seemed amused by my outspokenness. "Keeps the arguing to a minimum," he replied. "No point in trying when I know she's going to win.
I look for a girl without pretense who is sweet and intelligent - preferably brunette, but that's not completely important.
