Elizabeth Vargas Quotes

I love to work on a set whether it's mostly men or mostly women, but there's something about being in a community of women that changes the energy.

You're not best friends with someone just because you work with them, but you have to be able to at least work together, or there is no point.

Its hard, its almost natural, not to hate, but to think, 'I'm better than you, so I can't work with you' that's the status quo of how females act. I don't want it to be like that; that's why I like working with other females.

Girls get competitive, as though there's only one spot in the world for everything _ but that's not true. We need to stick together and see there's more to life than pleasing men. It's important not to cut yourself off from female friendships. I think sometimes girls get scared of other girls, but you need each other.

Women love working together. That's my experience anyway.

It gave me a lot of pleasure and pride that 90 percent of the crew for 'Monsoon Wedding,' and most of my film, are women. We get the work done, you know, much lesser play of ego... And I really believe in harmony, I believe in working in a spirit of egolessness and that the film is bigger than all of us.

When women work together, it's a bond unlike any other.

I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days - there's more love and a lot less hate!

I love working with women.

It is mind-boggling to me that there are so few movies about female friendship, considering women make up half the movie-going population.

I'm so tired of this notion that women only need to support women. Why can't we all support each other?

I think that the more that we can show onscreen men and women working together side by side with respect for one another, I think that that's a good message for us to be spreading.

Women do love each other; this whole women-against-each other, 'Dynasty' thing... we're not all after each other.

I'll never have a best friend who is a man. It just doesn't work that way. So many times young girls will be like, 'I'm a guy's girl.' And I'm like, 'No, you're not. There's no way a man can understand you like a woman, and you're a guy's girl because you're threatened by other women.' I was like that.

You hear about these shows where there are all these women are supposedly always in a catfight, and then you find out in reality that they're all getting along fine.

Shows like 'Sex and the City' got women involved again in a political way. They were drawn into the personal stories of the four women who together make up one complete cosmopolitan woman. We want to have community, and the show filled that void in our lives: friendship between women.

I think I am a little jealous of women who have great girlfriends as adults.

You rarely see women being nice to each other on television anymore.

I regard other women as my community, not my competition.

I think women are amazing and women's friendships are like a sisterhood and we should see more of it in television and film.

I'm just talking specifically of women's friendships. If two women go to a bar and they are fighting over men, it makes it much easier for the men. If two women are very close and they act as it makes it very difficult for the men to pull one over on anybody.

In TV, a woman helping another woman break in? Not that common.

I'm always interested in relationships between women. I'm always interested in how women relate to each other, whether it's a family relationship or it's a friend relationship. That's such uncharted territory in cinema.
