Loving Chicago is like loving a woman with a broken nose.

Unfortunately, being a woman in society means that sometimes you have to sort of quell what is instinctually broad and magnificent and magical about you.

In every woman's wardrobe, there are certain accessories that cannot be separated from their back stories.

I don't think I could have made a good movie out of 'Thor 2' because I wasn't the right director. And I don't think I would have been in the running for 'Wonder Woman' as a result. And that's one of...

I've always supported legislation for a woman's right to choose. And as mayor - I ran as an open, pro-choice candidate for mayor. If I ran for any higher office, I'm pro-choice.

Rose Adams is a wonderful Christian woman who cared for my mother, Morrow Coffey Graham, in her last years of life.

As far as being a plus-size woman, I play a plus-size character by default, and for me, the visibility - that, I think, is key.
