I grew as close to Madonna as I've ever been to a woman without being romantically involved.
TLC never broke up. We are sisters for life.
As women, we may not be a minority, but there is a bond that we all share. It is not a bond of geography. Or religion. Or culture. It is a bond of shared experience - experiences that only women go through and struggles that only women face.
When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?
Generally, I liked feeling able to connect with millions of women on a very deep level. It felt special that women especially would cut out my strip and place it on a refrigerator.
Do we need to have a female Bond? Couldn't we just make something new?
I think that women definitely have a special bond as friends that is hard to describe to men, and we don't often see that portrayed narratively.
I love Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox's real-life relationship.
All women are sisters.
I don't understand why James Bond has to be a man all the time. When Pierce Brosnan retires, why not one of us?
The strong bond of sisterhood was a famous trait in classical art and literature about Amazons. But it was modern people who interpreted that as a sexual preference for women. That started in the 20th century. The Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva declared that Amazons were symbolic of lesbianism in antiquity.
Someone asked if I wanted to be the first female Bond, and I was saying that I don't think we necessarily need that whole conversation.
You turn 'Insecure' on, and you see a sea of brown. You see at the core of it a strong friendship between two brown-skinned girls.
Madonna and I worked very closely. I was more like the big sister to her.
Female friendships are of rapid growth.
