If I’m feeling down in the dumps, or like I need a pop of colour, I’ll put on MAC’s Lipstick in Lady Danger. I discovered red lipstick when I did the Oscar season: Chanel sent me one and I realised how classic and glamorous it can be.
I could draw up a list of about 30 artists who I apparently sound like. From Lady Gaga, to Katy Perry to Lana Del Rey. I don’t know if it’s because I’m versatile or because production affects how people judge music. I can’t wait for a time I can just be classed as myself.
I dream of playing Lady Cora’s sister on ‘Downton Abbey.’
I’m not above the law. No one is. But we don’t want to live in a society where Lady Justice has one eye open and winks at her friends and casts the evil eye at her adversaries. When will it stop?
I’ve been in a lot of tough businesses: First Lady of San Fransciso, working as model, actress, TV host. You better have thick skin, for sure, but you also need to laugh at yourself. I make fun of myself all the time.
My mom was an executive at AT&T, a global account lady. I have no idea what she did. I just know she was never home and speaks several languages.
Recently, Lady Gaga was motivated to take the helm of the creative direction of her career and as such I decided to step away. I am extremely proud of her, and in stepping away I wish her all the best.
Good films and good performances will help you go further in your career. You can’t get too far by just choosing leading lady roles.
We’re never gonna have a nice lady run for president.
When I was a small child, I partially learned to read with comics, in particular with ‘Scamp,’ about the Lady and the Tramp’s male child. That was the prime comic that made me fall in love with comics as a kid.
I aspire to be like Paul Newman. He was a man’s man, a lady’s man, and the epitome of a philanthropist.
All of the agreed-upon pariahs throughout pop-culture history put their identities into the thing we decry. And yet we derive our own identities from the act of hating. We connect on the things we are disappointed in. Some may argue that nothing in history gathers a crowd like complaining about Lady Gaga’s meat dress.
When I was 7, an old lady was driving too fast in my neighborhood and hit me with her car. I was running out of the house, and when I got halfway into the street, my mom saw the car and yelled for me to run back. As I turned around the car hit me, dragged me five houses down the road, and I fractured my collarbone.
My mom is not religious, but she’s a very spiritual, magical kind of lady. One time, when I was younger, my mom said she was a witch and that my grandmother was also a witch. It was late at night, and she was really sleepy, but I took it very seriously because I always wanted to go to Hogwarts.
I remember one director in Argentina said to me, ‘You are not going to have any opportunity to be a leading lady because of your height.’ And I didn’t care. I don’t have a complex.
My wife is my first audience. She’s a tough lady, so I can’t say that I ever scare her. Except, of course, when she sees me the way I look before breakfast.
Lady Gaga listens to me. Her mantra is only one word – ‘Bikram’ – because Bikram makes her what she is today. It works.
Working at the hospital, there was a lot of starchy food. I was in good with the lunch lady, so she would hook me up with all kinds of macaroni and cheese and potatoes and that kind of food. I would eat it all night to the part where I hated food. I got pretty big.
Even though I’m over 35, I feel like so much more of a leading lady than I did when I was 30.
The first lady must be a leader. She must not be a follower.
I won’t quit to become someone’s old lady.
My first tour I did was The Warped Tour, and I was likening myself to the bearded lady at the circus because not only was I an actor touring, doing rock n’ roll, but I was also a female front person making really muscular, male-dominated rock music.
Really, I have to laugh because there was a whole set of stories that made me sound like the Dragon Lady, you know, ‘tough this and tough that.’ Then there is this business about ‘gooey.’ The bottom line is I am a pragmatic idealist.
Most of my life I didn’t feel very normal. There’s definitely been some moments where I feel like, all right, I’ve finally graduated and I’m a normal lady.
At Rada, I was cast as Lady Macbeth and tried to do it as seriously as I could, but people still started laughing. I just think they find my face too funny.
I think ‘Macbeth’ was a play that I’ve always gotten so much out of. My wife played Lady Macbeth in a play, and I designed it. There are things in there that are just kind of extraordinary.
Courtesy is a lady’s armor.
My perspective comes in part from being a New York black lady, in part from being an engineer. I know I’m smart and have opinions worth being heard.
There are people we look up to, like Lady Gaga and what she’s built. She’s not afraid to own who she is.
I would say that Barack Obama has always been a real optimist about what can be accomplished. He believes that government can be used to create systemic, long-term, real change. And the first lady is more of a skeptic.
Like all New York hotel lady cashiers she had red hair and had been disappointed in her first husband.
Lady Jaye dressed me in her clothes the first day we met. The love we had was so strong, we wished we could become one. Then we thought, ‘Why shouldn’t we?’
If you want to be a bearded lady then you are allowed to do that because you’re not hurting anybody.
The difference between men and women seems to be this: I can argue with my promoter downstairs, accuse him of ripping me off, and 20 minutes later we’ll be playing golf together. With a lady, the same argument can go on for, like, years.
My first American experience was in the harbor of New York City when I saw that amazing big, tall lady. I remember thinking, ‘Oh my goodness, a lady runs this country.’
‘My Fair Lady’ and Eliza Doolittle will go on long after me, and someone else will step into it for their moment. That’s what’s so beautiful about revivals: There have been so many interpretations, and we’re just giving it what we can.
Lady Luck is indifferent. She smiles sometimes, and she frowns sometimes.
Hold the door for a lady. Wait until a lady is out of the elevator.
Of course, ‘Kahaani’ is my huge break. Lady Luck smiled at me.
Lady Justice doesn’t have empathy for anyone. She rules strictly based upon the law, and that’s really the only way that our system can function properly under the Constitution.
Being a former first lady doesn’t prepare you to be president.
My mother was a very natural woman. She never spoiled herself, never wore make-up, and wore modest jewellery, but she always had a few special items for when she wanted to feel like a lady. One of those special items – and I remember it because it seemed so elegant – was her Guerlain powder.
Someone like Bethany Frankel goes from being, like, ‘some lady’ to a star with arguably as much charisma as anybody else on TV. I personally find that riveting.
I can tell you beyond any doubt, that my lady is able to control herself and stick to her values regardless of circumstance. Just as surely, she can say the same about me (Ben & Jerry’s benders notwithstanding).
I have a few customers who have two or three hundred bags. When you see a lady carrying a little dog bag or a little cat bag or an egg, it makes you happy.
Seriously, my grandma’s like the oldest lady on ShipRocked every year. My grandma’s crazy.
The dominant male is history. Could you see a male Lady Gaga? The closest we’ve got is Justin Bieber, who’d be locked up if he tried the stuff Gaga gets away with. Women are the only rock stars now. Adele is brutally honest. I want to be like her.
I’m a huge Lady GaGa fan – she makes the world a more incredible place.
I like powerful women, and I gravitate to any point in history when a female has significant power. I can spend hours researching any such amazing lady, from Ching Shih to Hatshepsut to Boudica to Zenobia.
My mother is a southern lady with short dark hair and a wary, blue-eyed smile. She is also an experimental chemist and teaches a college course entitled The Chemistry of Cooking.
The funny thing is that I’ve known since I was 7 years old that I was never going to have kids. I always imagined myself as this worldly, traveling gypsy lady.
When you’re a man, you want to make decisions for your family, and sometimes the lady doesn’t see what you see.
The studios gotta start making more stuff where black folks get quality stuff. But I can’t trip about that because I’ve been making movies for 35 years, and I’ve played everything from an old lady to a donkey, so I can’t be on here talking about, ‘They don’t give us enough roles’ and diversity.
Well, in brief, I was discovered by a lady called Beth Boldt. She had also been a model. She used to take pictures of the girls she found, and she took a picture of me one day in my school uniform, and it all kind of started from there.
My sister is a very peculiar lady. When we were young, I wasn’t allowed to talk to her friends. Now I’m not allowed to talk to her children, nor are they permitted to see me. This is the nature of the lady. Doesn’t bother me at all.
Me and Lady Jaye hung out with Anita Pallenberg a few times in the house she lived in with Brian Jones.
