It still annoys me when I read really derogatory things about how a woman looks because you would usually not read these things about a man, and that still has the potential to put women off public life.

We must be very careful when we say that somebody giving you compliments about your looks should be offensive. I think women really should look at why they're being offended by that.

For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.

We all know that looks matter. What most of us don't understand is just how much looks matter and how difficult it is for us to ignore a person's appearance when making a social judgment.

I was never offended that people underestimated me because of my appearance or that they thought I was pretty and discouraged me from fighting because they didn't want me to risk hurting my looks.

I contend that every woman has the right to feel beautiful, no matter how scrambled her features, or how indifferent her features.

I like men who style themselves so that I can tell they give a damn about how they present themselves, but not too much as to say that's probably what they care about most.

I feel people care so much about their appearance - which is important, and I do still care about my appearance, but not that much. There's far more to life than that.

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.
