It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

Women are often worried about how they look, and that's not superficial. We know that our appearance has nothing to do with how smart, creative, or hardworking we are, but it plays powerfully into what society decides we are worth.

Women spend their lives trying to look good for men. So a woman who feels she's sending the right visual signals is pleased with herself.

From a male perspective, you don't think about how much outward pressure and importance you put on how women look.

Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people.

Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.

The problem for all women is we're identified by how we look instead of by our heads and our hearts.

Women have a lot of... attitudes enforced in us about our sense of attractiveness being bound up in long, flowing, Hollywood kind of hair.

I've watched women being hideously unattractive, personality-wise and physically, all the time. But these women never end up on screen.

I often feel like a pretender when wearing makeup. The most beautiful features in a woman are her character and her experiences. Why hide that?
