All of us benefit when women and girls have the same opportunities as men and boys, and it's on all of us to make that a reality. Our sons have the power and the responsibility to change our culture of sexism, and I want Xavier and Hadrien, when he's a little older, to understand that deeply.

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

I think a lot of the corporate world is pretty culturally neutered. Masculine energy is good, and obviously, society has plenty of that, but I think corporate culture was really trying to get away from it. I think having a culture that celebrates the aggression a bit more has its own merits that are really positive.

Where neither love nor hatred is in the game, a woman's game is mediocre.

This woman is beautiful and clever: but how much cleverer she would have become if she were not beautiful!

Of man there is little here: therefore do their women masculinize themselves. For only he who is man enough will save the woman in woman.
