"The only people you can really share certain things with in secret are your girlfriends." ― Shirley Knight Topic(s): Women More From Shirley Knight "There are things that you cannot talk to your mother and father about, there are things that you cannot talk to your children about." "My goal was not to be famous or rich but to be good at what I did. And that required going to New York and studying and working in the theater." "This house was our dream-the gardens, the study, even the swimming pool. Even though I can’t see John when I wake up in the morning, I can always feel him here with me." More In Women "I noticed there were so many people, especially women, who would come up to me having recognized me from TV and say, ‘I heard you were a math person, why math? Oh my gosh, I could never do math!’ I could just see their self-esteem crumbling; I thought that was silly, so I wanted to make math more friendly and accessible."― Danica McKellar "I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled."― Charlize Theron "Men reach their sexual peak at eighteen. Women reach theirs at thirty-five. Do you get the feeling that God is playing a practical joke?"― Rita Rudner
