You know, there's nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It's kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen.

I'm used to very strong women because my mother was particularly strong, and my father was away all the time. My mother was a big part of bringing up three boys, so I was fully versed in the strength of a powerful woman, and accepted that as the status quo.

Women are not weaker. Read that again. Women are not weaker. They are just as strong, just as resolute, just as creative, and are filled with just as much potential as any man.

I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.

Women, we are so strong! It took me so long to figure that out, but I realized just how strong a woman is.

I'm surrounded by all these strong women - my publicist, my manager, and my wife - and sometimes I think that women are more evolved than men, and they are able to process a heartache better.

All women are the same, really: They are strong, but they are afraid of their own strength.

I think for a girl to be strong, it doesn't have to involve being physically strong.

Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time.
