“Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family.”

“There can be no respect for a family that is established on ignorance. In the construction of a democratic civilization, the role of the family is vital.”

“A mother’s traditional role prepared her to love her family by being with the family she loved.”

“I say that there is no role for women—there is, instead, a role for each woman, and she must make it for herself.”

“A father’s traditional role prepared him to love his family by being away from the love of his family.”

“An order was given to set up a pillar of pagan heads on the … hill between which and our camp the battle had been fought. (…) About 1000 men, women and children were made prisoner; there as also great slaughter, and a pillar of heads was raised.”

“Dads in the family are even more important than women in the workplace: The workplace benefits from women, but the family needs dads.”

“When I started out, there weren't that many strong female roles, especially women who weren't just strong emotionally. I mean this is a also woman [her character on The Chicago Code, Teresa Colvin] who is strong physically, who isn't afraid of physicality. But now there are a lot more roles for women that are quite strong. I think the Academy Award nominations bespeak how many really great roles there are for women right now, and that's primarily because women are creating those roles for themselves.”

“The men in my family are strong because the women in my family kill and eat the weak ones.”
