The big publishers want someone they can send on the Jewish book circuit, somebody the old ladies can see marrying their granddaughters.
I don’t want to take the escalators. Give me the stairs that have the dips and the two old ladies that are blocking it and they’ve got an attitude, and they don’t want you to go past them.
Queen Latifah was writing poetry. Maybe Latifah’s ‘Ladies First’ and Angelou’s ‘Phenomenal Woman’ are the same thing, a generation apart.
Ladies, I’ll let you in on a lil secret: guys don’t notice your nails.
I’m not a stereotypically beautiful woman, and I’m so happy that I’m not. I’ve seen those ladies – the need to be attractive at all times is ghastly. Also, in your twenties, if you are beautiful, everything comes to you, so you never need to develop a personality. I never had that problem.
I was a little doubtful about the propriety of going to the Mammoth Cave without a gentleman escort, but if two ladies travel alone they must have the courage of men.

Not only did I get an A in music but I got an A in ladies.
Hema Malini and Nutan were my childhood crushes! I met Hemaji once when dad took me to the set of a film. Both these ladies stole my heart with their beauty and grace.
While some who downplay Christ’s divinity have imagined Jesus as a great social worker ‘being kind to old ladies, small dogs and little children,’ orthodox Christianity has not wanted Jesus to have a political message.
The truth does not require a majority to prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The truth is its own power. The truth will out. Never forget that.
On the dance floor, as much as you say, ‘Ladies, you are the car. He is the driver. You can only go where he takes you,’ they still try to be in control.
Waitresses, soldiers, rickshaw drivers, old ladies selling vegetables – my father would schmooze anybody. He was Clintonesque before the word existed. And, of course, it paid dividends. Ill-tempered guards at the most notorious border crossings waved him through with cheery smiles. Haughty maitre d’s fawned over him.
When I was a child and they burned me out of my home, I was frightened and I ran away. Eventually I ran far away. It was to a place called France. Many of you have been there, and many have not. But I must tell you, ladies and gentlemen, in that country I never feared. It was like a fairyland place.
On landing at New York I caught the yellow fever. The kind man who commanded the ship that brought me from France took charge of me and placed me under the care of two Quaker ladies. To their skillful and untiring care I may safely say I owe my life.
When I was little, I had concerts on the subway, and old ladies came up to me like, ‘You are so good!’
Some felt my looks would not go down with the Bengali audience. They felt I was not photogenic. Others felt I was just what Bengali cinema needed when there was lack of glamour for heroine roles and there were few leading ladies around.
I love my nose! I was so nervous when I got pregnant that I was going to get that weird nose spread that you sometimes see pregnant ladies get.
I wasn’t a ladies’ man.
Singapore ladies are very beautiful.
We’re not just ‘ladies in rock.’ We’re weird people!
Ladies be seated, the party has only begun.
There’s two systems of health care: the one for the rich that’s really good, then there’s the one for the inner city, where they leave ladies in the emergency room unattended for 24 hours until they drop dead.
As the World Champion, every day is pretty much like Valentine’s Day for me – as far as hooking up with the ladies.
If a man loves me, he will love all the flaws that come with me, so ladies don’t beat yourself up about them.
If you ask anyone around the cricket grounds, they will say I always sign loads of autographs and thank the ladies for lunch and try to behave in the right way.
There is a cliche that men want their women to be ladies in public and hookers behind closed doors. I want my woman to be the sharper image robot so that she can be turned off.
You just have to know what your responsibility is to the movie, and live up to that, and be considerate of the other actors in the scene… I have never been competitive in that way – I always want my leading ladies to be as good as they possibly can be.
I think sometimes in relationships, ladies like having a man who takes care of them, nurtures them. If you can’t find it in a man your own age, you find it in somebody who is older.
On ‘MADtv,’ I discovered I could do Billy Crystal. ‘Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 68th Annual Academy Awards!’ Surprisingly, there’s more call for that one than you’d think.
Nobody tried comedy in horror, and when I tried it ladies came to the theatre.
I remember back when I was a kid there was a comic strip called Plastic Man. His body was elastic and he could make his extremities as long as he wanted. As a youngster I didn’t fully appreciate. But I’m now thinking Plastic Man was probably pretty popular with the ladies.
Ladies, you do not have to submit yourself to any man abusing you.
Ladies, you have to love yourself… you don’t always have to have a man.
I would like to think I am a little bit of a man’s man and a ladies’ man. I suppose, I’m a guy’s guy because I like to do a lot of, you know, the man stuff: Working out, off-roading, getting on the dirt bike and what not. I am a ladies’ man because I spend more time with girls than I do with guys.
When someone’s acting for a scene, they can fool the camera. But in everyday life, unless you’re watching and censoring yourself every minute, or spending all your time in the company of ladies, what you feel is bound to show in your eyes.
Gangnam is a territory in Seoul, Korea. I describe it as noble at the daytime and going crazy at the night time. I compare ladies to the territory. So – noble at the daytime, going crazy at the night time – and the lyric says I am the right guy for the lady who is like that.
I’m so interested in the feminism of women in American music. These ladies, going out on the road, way before the opportunities and advantages that I have – it was absolutely rough out there. The fact that they were still able to get their art out there and do what they’re doing is really impressive to me.
Getting to do what I think was my fifth BBC drama with Nikki Amuka-Bird – we’ve done ‘Shoot The Messenger,’ ‘Five Days,’ ‘The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,’ ‘Born Equal’ and now ‘Small Island’ – was another highlight for me. And filming in Jamaica was great, too.
Why can’t ladies like nice guys?
I feel like every year there’s a thing about ‘not enough roles for ladies!’ and, then, also an article, like ‘The Year of The Woman.’ I think that we all just know in our hearts they’re underrepresented. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t amazing moments.

I consider composing music to the sequel of ‘Ladies Tailor’ which had music by Ilayaraaja as my biggest blessing.
Johnny Blaze was my character at OVW. I had all these fancy fire catchphrases: ‘Call the fire department,’ ‘Get your fire extinguishers out, ladies.’ ‘By the time you hear the thunder, it’s going to be too late because the lightning will have already struck.’ That was all my thing.
LL Cool J was a rapper-turned-actor, and I also relate to him because he was sort of a ladies’ man and had a female fan base, but yet he’s a positive dude. You never read about him getting into trouble or going to jail.
I was clearly brought into the whole thing about acting by my mother. She loved the theater. She had a very pleasant singing voice, which she used to sing for her ladies’ club.
My first exposure to sanitation issues occurred when I got admission into an engineering college. They probably didn’t want to admit me and informed me that there was no ladies toilet in the college. I was adamant and pursued my studies in engineering in that very college.
I find it really funny that men can always get away with being a ladies man. Everyone thinks it’s really cool. But a girl can’t really date boys all the time because everybody looks down on her. I think boys get away with things so much easier.
I believe that anybody who gets married should go to a counselor for months before the wedding. I think that’s going to save guys a lot of money and the ladies a lot of heartbreak.
One day I was teaching my class and then I had to go to the White House right after, so literally, I took my dress to school. After my classes I went into the ladies room, changed into my outfit, got into the car, went to the White House. So there are real, you know, Superman moments!
My reputation as a ladies’ man was a joke. It caused me to laugh bitterly through the 10,000 nights I spent alone.
