There were times when I tried to hide my muscles. When you’re a young girl, you hear, ‘You’re really strong,’ or, ‘You have really toned arms.’ In my head, it wasn’t something that should be said about a girl. It should be more, ‘You’re pretty.’ Julie Ertz
When I was a young girl playing basketball, WNBA was a dream. Nia Jax

I think Michael Crawford realised, I think we all realised, once we’d gone the route of casting a very young girl, you can’t really cast a 65 year old man opposite. Slightly different resonance I think. No, we weren’t going to go there. We’d have Jack Nicholson in the lead. Andrew Lloyd Webber
Part of me feels like when you had a lot of success in your teens and 20s, it gets harder for you in your 30s because people are so attached to you as this ingenue. So even though you’re older, they still think of you as that girl – that waifish young girl. And so it was sort of like a struggle. Winona Ryder

I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I’m home, I work very hard to be Todd’s wife and Jade’s mother.

One day, I was at my grandmother’s house, and I found diaries that she kept as a young girl. I opened one to a page that had flowers glued inside.

And people nod in approval. Cristina Henriquez

I was the love interest – the male lead – but the story was about the female lead, a young girl who is a part of this cult, and she wants to break out. She meets a guy who has to help her. She has to find out who she is. It’s more like a coming of age story. Pilou Asbaek

I admired her, though her diary remained terrifying and mysterious to me. She was a character in a real fairy tale – fairy tales are brutal. Kate Bernheimer
With fashion, my mother was an icon, but she never lived it in the sense that she was never obsessed with fashion.
