If a fan comes up and it is a middle-aged lady, it is probably from ‘Prime’; if it is a younger girl, it is probably from when I guest-starred on ‘One Tree Hill.’ And if it is, like, a skateboard kid or a hipster kid, I can tell they are ‘How to Make It’ fans.
There was a time when no difficult subjects were ever aired in the ‘Lady’, and sadly, life isn’t like that.
I always assumed I would leave drama school and do ‘Lady Macbeth’ and all sorts of serious things. It just didn’t happen.
A lady likes to be complimented on her looks, her eyes, her figure. But the personality comments are much appreciated.
My family was in England on the night that she was doing her final performance of ‘My Fair Lady’ with Rex Harrison. The show was brilliant and Julie was just phenomenal.
I’m a wild lady. Not.
I thought it was a really good contrast to have a really sweet, sincere, church girl sitting next to the church lady who seemed kind of, you know, over the top.
I think that the lady who is waiting on me at the local diner, who has kids in school and the mouths to feed, I think she probably has as nice a life as I have. And she only wants to improve her life, her lifestyle.
I’ve been with this young lady for about two years now, and my life changed. I don’t even think that way no more. I feel good, too, that I’m changed. Now I feel regular. I feel like I’m supposed to.
I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.
I had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria’s early years. Like everyone else, I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her, though, that she had a very loving relationship with Albert, that they had lots of kids, and that he died young.
I was 14 when I decided I wanted to start doing music and stuff. I was a really big fan of Ben Howard, and he put out a really amazing album in 2014, and then, after being inspired by my dad and Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran, I wanted to start writing songs.
My favourite feature is my hair. It has always made me look different. It was so red when I was born that my mother thought I had blood on my head. When I was a teenager, I looked like a tomboy, but then I understood that I could be a woman who was an intelligent mix between a lady and my mannish side.
Lady Gaga? She’s cool! She works really hard. When we would have our dance rehearsals, she wasn’t the singer that was like, ‘Oh, I’ll just stand in front.’ She wanted to learn everything – she was doing the dance moves. She’s a good dancer.
I have a memory problem. My family and friends call me Lady Ghajini.
I was just twiddling my thumbs in London, literally not knowing what I was going to do with my life, and my agent says, ‘You got an audition for ‘My Fair Lady’ with Bartlett Sher.’
I swear to God, I went in to buy bikinis, and the lady’s like, ‘You’re not getting out of this store ’til you get down there and show me what you do for those abs and the arms.’ She wouldn’t sell me my bikinis! I had to get on the floor and do the stomach thing.
I play a nice crazy lady whose morals are right but who is really foundering.
Lady Gaga said to me, ‘You showed me how it’s done.’ I have no idea what she meant by ‘it.’
Lady Gaga is the present and the future. She is the most revolutionary and inspirational artist. She is fearless and daring.
Lady Diana Spencer looked to relatively unknown designers – David and Elizabeth Emanuel, recently graduated from the Royal College of Art – when she wed Prince Charles in 1981.
I was very surprised that they would ask a foreign actress to be Lady Macbeth, but I felt it was an opportunity that I couldn’t miss. Having the opportunity to play Shakespeare in English – that wouldn’t come twice.
I love Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert – they write from the heart. But it’s hard to find a country music lover in L.A. None of my friends really listen to it, and they hate getting in the car with me because I just blast Taylor Swift.
Part of me would love to have been a leading lady because there’s a lot of glamour that goes with that and a lot of applause, but I’ve been very blessed.
Well, the band name is just a stupid thing. We used to live in Russia and our friend there, a Russian lady just kind of described my sister as a clean bandit.
Any time anyone says anything nice about me, whether it’s Lady Gaga or your neighbor, it’s a nice feeling, I’m very grateful for it. It’s very helpful for your career. Every time someone says something complimentary it introduces you to their audience. It gives you credibility.
A lot of what I do around Houston is to find ways to lift people through literacy. It’s become part of our family culture. Everyone in our family has found some way and capacity to serve. You don’t necessarily need to be President or First Lady to serve and help.
I love that song ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ from ‘My Fair Lady’ so much. I love that song because watching it as a kid, it was such an unbridled expression of joy.
To my embarrassment I was born in bed with a lady.
Theodore Roosevelt had drawn public attention to his attractive family in order to create a bond with ordinary Americans. Eleanor Roosevelt had successfully broached the idea that a First Lady could be nearly as much a public figure as her husband.
When I was a young lady, I never fantasized about getting married.
More men than women like ‘Strangers With Candy’. Pretty girls don’t like the show. They don’t like to see an ugly lady.
I could talk about ‘Lady Bird’ for literally the rest of my life! It never gets old.
I think being called a cat lady is a compliment. It means you have adopted a tiny little maniac into your life.
Somebody said, ‘Get your agent to call the new Bob Cummings show. They’re looking for a funny lady.’ Within three hours, I had the job. That was January 1955. I had such fun with that show.
A few weeks ago I went to a screening of ‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’ at Utopia. I’m not a very introspective person but when I get on that stage, it feels even more overwhelming than showing my films at the Cannes film festival. Because standing there, I’m so close to my past. I can see how far I’ve come.
Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, all of these artists that we do love – you see so much of what we do, the personas, makeup, hair, fashion – like, all of is now incorporated in pop culture, and a lot of it has to do with drag, because we over-exaggerate everything, right? We take it out to the next level.
My mother was a very beautiful lady, I thought. She was very good to me. I guess – she died when I was nine and a half, but if she had lived, I probably wouldn’t be trying to play guitar. She wanted me to be known, but as something else. Not a guitar player.
I’m a true woman, not a Bond girl. That’s why I say all the time, ‘James Bond lady,’ ‘James Bond woman.’
I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. But then a lady at the youth theatre asked me if I’d ever thought of going to drama school.
Down South, there was the old ‘ladies-don’t-do-such-things’ way of thinking. You couldn’t be a lady and a good athlete at the same time.
It’s wonderful to see a young lady headbutt somebody and kick somebody’s face.
When I was preparing for the film for tree weeks, with David Cronenberg, I had a lady friend come over.
I’ve been around the world seven times, been stabbed three times, been down in an airplane, and once dated the Bearded Lady.
With Lady Antebellum, there’s always pressure. It’s hard for commerce not to rear its ugly head when you’re making decisions.
Once when we were holidaying in Singapur, a fan did not recognise me as I had shaved my head. The fan approached Nagarjuna and asked him ferociously, aren’t you married to Amala? Nagarjuna then explained to him that this lady is Amala!
I used to have a pony but I outgrew it and I do dream that one day I will live in the country and have lots of horses and be like a proper English lady who goes hunting and everything.
Honestly, I get more recognized for ‘Three Men and a Little Lady’ than ‘Harry Potter’.
I love clothes and jewelry. I’m the fashion lady type.
I think I’m very proud of the ‘Lady Marmalade’ collaboration that I did with Christina, Lil Kim, Pink, and Missy. That was the first time and probably one of the only times that I’ve worked with so many females at once, and we were able to accomplish so many great things.
You treat a lady like a dame, and a dame like a lady.
By the age of nine, I had a thorough knowledge of contemporary Polish literature as well as of foreign literature in Polish translation, and I began to write poems in honour of a lady of thirty years. Naturally, she knew nothing about them.
I love older lady style. They dress for themselves everyday.
I originally worked as an archaeologist in North Carolina, and when bones were found police would take them out to the bones lady at the university, and that was me.
When you live in a leading lady’s body, which I do, you have to constantly prove that you are funny.
I actually got to write with one of my musical heroes, a guy named Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace. I got to sit down and write some songs with him, and that was pretty heavy. I listened to Our Lady Peace growing up. It got me through the teenage angst.
My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.
