• I should consent to breed under pressure, if I were convinced in any way of the reasonableness of reproducing the species. But my nerves and the nerves of any woman I could live with three months, would produce only a victim... lacking in impulse, a mere bundle of discriminations.

• My routines come out of total unhappiness. My audiences are my group therapy. (Joan Rivers) [group]
• What is meant by reality? It would seem to be something very erratic, very undependable -- now to be found in a dusty road, now in a scrap of newspaper in the street, now a daffodil in the sun. It lights up a group in a room and stamps some casual saying (Virginia Woolf) [newspaper/sun/group]
• I don't really see where I fit into that group, but I'm very flattered. I think, though, all of us women, regardless of how different we are as artists, come from a similar place in terms of how we view our role as a female musician. All of us are pretty feisty. And I think that that's what people identify with. Because there seem to be so few women right now who are interested in having an opinion. Having something to say. Trying to do things a little differently. Refusing to take our clothes off to further our careers. (Shirley Manson) [group/think/women/role]

• There are only two people, out of all the actors that I've worked with, who I can say I'm really close friends with. I have lots of acquaintances, but only two of them are real friends. You're just part of the group he has to shake hands with. It's part of the myth that we're all phoning each other and sharing deep secrets, private things. (Alfred Molina) [people/actors/group]
• The only issue is there is not a big group of officials available early in the day. I think all schools would like to try to go to afternoon games at some point, but with the availability of officials, it probably won't happen. (Andy Dick) [group/day/think/point]
• It's been such a group effort. When you're a new band and you have limited resources, you end up getting people that are there because they love what you do, and that's great. (Balthazar Getty) [group/people/love]
• I wasn't particularly strong in the dramatic society, the drama group. I left Manchester Grammar School with abysmal A-level results. I then had a year's hiatus where I didn't know what to do at all. (Ben Kingsley) [society/group/school]

• Charlie Sheen is a real gentleman. Tom Cruise was a real prince. I'm really knocked out about how disciplined these guys are-they're not as wild as our group used to be. No booze, no drugs-these guys are athletes. (Tom Berenger) [wild/group]
• The fans are a large conglomerate of people. They're a heterogeneous group of people. (William Shatner) [people/group/people]
