When a woman reaches twenty-six in America, she's on the slide. It's downhill all the way from then on. It doesn't give you a tremendous feeling of confidence and well-being.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like the feeling that I'm giving young women self-confidence. It sounds so cliched, but it can be very moving.
I have more self-confidence than I did when I was in my 20s.
The greatest part of intimate confidences proceed from a desire either to be pitied or admired.
I can tell women's confidence levels rise when they wear heels.
It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before.
I think the main thing for young women is to have confidence and not be afraid to challenge continuing inequalities, because that's the only way you'll get change.
When I meet large women who walk with confidence and are articulate and really have an understanding of how they walk in this world, I love them so deeply for being able to overcome such unbelievable odds.
I think that it's when we step out of the road, step outside the box, become our own person, and we walk fearlessly down paths other people wouldn't look at, that true progress comes. And sometimes true beauty as well.
Most women have learned a great deal about how to set goals for our First Adulthood and how to roll with the punches when we hit a rough passage. But we're less prepared for our Second Adulthood as we approach life after retirement, where there are no fixed entrances or exits, and lots of sand into which it is easy to bury our heads.
I am a woman of the 21st Century who is self-assured and speaks my mind.
