Gail CarrigerBasically, this industry is mostly run by men, and I think women have a harder time...I've had enough of the "Women in Rock" issues of magazines and all of that.

Rex RyanBesides, Rose Bradwardine, beautiful and amiable as we have described her, had not precisely the sort of beauty or merit which captivates a romantic imagination in early youth.

They seemed to think that maybe I was beginning to paint. That was my only low-toned dismal-coloured painting.
