I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing ‘chick’ music for teenage girls or something. I think, if anything, the press kind of, because of my gender and my age, tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It’s part of the cultural dynamic, I guess.
I think with pictures; I’m a very lousy writer. If I write without pictures, I become this pathetic chick sitting somewhere trying to be interesting.
I’ve always been outwardly personal. I’ve always been that chick. A lot of my friends be like, ‘TMI, Tiffany, TMI.’ I just feel like it’s important to share your experience on this Earth, because you never know who’s watching, who might be going through the same thing, who might feel devastated.
Most chick singers say ‘if you hurt me, I’ll die’… I say, ‘if you hurt me, I’ll kick your ass.’
People know my lyrics; they know the stuff I’ve written, and it’s all about life, love, happiness, and these big euphoric moments. It would always bug me when I’d go to a club, and they’re playing some chick on a stripper pole on the monitor behind me. I’m like, ‘So that’s not what I do – that’s the other guy.’
I would describe my look as ‘ladylike rock chick.’
You’re allowed to make things for women on television and there’s not like… you don’t have to go through the humiliation of having made something directed at women. There it’s just accepted, whereas if it’s a feature, it’s like ‘So, talk to me about chick flicks.’
Sometimes you’re afraid to fall in love with a chick, but she sucks you in anyway.
Girls go out together to see a chick flick or something. I loathe, I hate, chick flicks.
I was originally cast to be the brains of the Enterprise. Somehow I became The Chick. There’s a little ugly girl inside of me going ‘Yay! I’m a sex symbol!’
I had started modelling and doing ramp shows. Then I signed the ‘Kama Sutra’ campaign. Overnight I became known as this sexy, hot chick.
I’m just a regular Baltimore chick who believed in God enough to follow her dreams.
My generation fought very hard for feminism, and we fought very hard to not be labeled as you had to have a husband or you had to be in a relationship, or you were somehow not a cool chick.
You want two-thirds of that plate to be consisting of vegetables, whole grains and fruits, with one-third of it protein. That protein can be a bean – black beans, chick peas, lentils. It can be a lean protein, like fish or poultry.
People say ‘chick lit,’ and what they mean is ‘crap.’ And so even though you might sell 100,000 copies of a book, you’re never going to win a prize. These are books that people don’t just read, they devour them – they stay up into the early hours because they want to devour them.
So many times, you get sent scripts where it’s, like, the token chick, where the woman is just there to serve the man in the film.
What bothered me most about chick lit, frankly, was how the term was used to dismiss a huge chunk of the bookstore as silly, girlish prattle.
One reviewer dubbed my first book, ‘Getting Rid of Matthew,’ ‘chick noir,’ and another called it ‘anti chick lit,’ both of which I loved.
Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.
My perfect girl would be pretty mad, but one you can have a conversation with. No one can be too mad for me, the madder the better. I love a crazy chick!
I am a huge fan of R&B. I love R. Kelly and want to be the person every chick gets with, and ‘Ghostdini’ is one of the best albums I ever did.
For ‘Barnyard,’ I did the voice of a ‘chick,’ which was really a blast because I had to manipulate my voice to another pitch.
In order to survive, I created a certain type of aura about myself that I was the baddest chick walking down the street. Anytime somebody underestimates me, Thug Rose comes out.
I’ve always read broadly: literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, chick lit, historical, dystopian, nonfiction, memoir. I’ve even read Westerns. I prefer female protagonists.
I’m more like an animalistic rock chick.
You know what makes me mad about ‘The Bachelorette?’ That, you know, that that chick would get a man. Get me a date.
I really am a chick from Long Island who’s just learning along with everyone.
Much-derided chick lit, chick flicks, and chick magazines have left ambitious women in a bind. Why is it that I, a young woman, can read ‘GQ,’ enjoy ‘Fight Club,’ and subscribe to ‘Thrillist,’ while the idea of a guy doing the same with ‘Glamour,’ ’27 Dresses’ and ‘Daily Candy’ is nearly unheard of?
I have absolutely no problem being thought of as an action chick because, quite frankly, very few women have ever done that.
For me, ‘Bookends’ marks the start of my foray into commercial fiction, away from what has always been thought of as more traditional chick lit – single girl in the city trips around in Manolos looking for Mr. Right.
Maybe I’m the baddest chick on the planet, maybe I’m the baddest woman in the Octagon, but I’m definitely emotional.
The thing about being a mystery writer, what marks a mystery writer out from a chick lit author or historical fiction writer, is that you always find a mystery in every situation.
I think I’m the greatest chick in the game, and I expect all the others to feel the same way. If not, you’re in the wrong profession.
My feeling about my own work is, I could be writing ‘The Aeneid’ and they would still have to call it chick lit or mommy lit or menopausal old hag lit.
I don’t think my first book was chick lit.
What I find weird is that the term ‘chick lit’ is used to encompass literally anything a woman writes about relationships. It’s the assumption that because you’re female, you must write in a certain way. I don’t understand why that is – it is a bit demeaning.
I’d always wanted to be an action heroine. That’s a chick dream, getting to wear a leather bodysuit and be blonde and kick ass. But, what really attracted me to ‘Dredd’ was the script. It was fantastic! It was about people and characters, and not just about explosions and fighting.
I’m too tall to be a girl. I’m between a chick and a broad.
When I was a kid I had this funny blonde hair and everyone called me ‘Chick’ because I looked like Tweety Bird.
I’m pretty much an out-front, straightforward chick, and I get a bit confused by expectations.
