Thank God I have four sons. The mother/daughter relationship is one of mankind's great mysteries, and for womankind, it can be hellaciously complicated. My mother and I are quintessential examples of the rewards and frustrations, and the joys and infuriations it can yield.
I stopped trying to think about how the UFC operates. It's like trying to understand a woman.
I have one good girlfriend and then most of my friends are guys. Which I love, because they're just like so easygoing and I love to play like Xbox and just chill out when I'm not working, so boys are probably the way to go for me.
I've always really been interested in the Pygmalion myth and both what it has to say about creativity and what it has to say about relationships between men and women.
What I've found in doing research is that men want a relationship that feels fun. In other words, they want a relationship that has qualities or elements of their same-sex relationships - just like women do, too.
I find men odd. I don't really understand men. I kind of feel like I understand women better than I do men, really.
Even in real life, I'd rather hang out with guys.
I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.
Strong female characters - even if they don't necessarily make the same decisions that we might - make such great narrative material, especially when there's an equally strong male character in the mix.
Girls are complicated. The instruction manual that comes with girls is 800 pages, with chapters 14, 19, 26 and 32 missing, and it's badly translated, hard to figure out.
Look, people get drunk ... People chase girls. And the point is, it's a hell of a lot better for them to get drunk than to take drugs. It's better to chase girls than boys.
When I was in high school, the genders were so separate from each other. If you weren't 'dating' somebody, you couldn't just be friends with somebody.
Most of my friends are male. Men are more fun.
You know when you're 14 and terrified to talk to a girl? I didn't suffer much from that. It seemed very natural to me to talk to girls.
Occasionally, when I get mad at a woman, I'll do some great, awful painting about her.
Girls... they test you, and I don't like that. I don't get it. They do things, and then when you respond, they get mad. It's so confusing, I can't even explain it.
It is very important to have deep friendships of the opposite sex to learn so much about yourself and what you need as a human.
God has enabled man to distinguish between his sister, his mother, his daughter and his wife.
I get along with guys; most of my friends are guys. It's easier to trust men sometimes. I only have a few close girlfriends that I trust.
I understand men much better than most women I know.
With girls, friendships are hard because you have to learn to get to a maturity level to love them but not want to be them.
Anybody that knows me knows that I'm definitely a guy's girl.
You don't really see too many straight friendships between men and women on 'Mad Men.'
Trying to understand women is a tall order period.
Since I was a kid, I've always loved hanging out with females.
