Acts perpetrated by women, particularly attractive women, get far more media attention.

The issue of motherhood is no longer salient. In fact, the very first female bomber for Hamas posed in her last will and testament video with her two kids.

I did a study of soldiers returning from Iraq, and their levels of PTSD were much higher if they had had to shoot a woman or child, even if they knew the person was a suicide bomber.

Misuse of the Koran to provide legitimacy for violence is common, particularly in Europe, where terrorists tend not to be well-educated Muslims.

Women are secretaries of state and prime ministers - but people still don't expect women to be involved in violence.

When the bombers are women - and children, which I predict we'll see more of - the terrorists get more bang for their buck, because there's more media attention.

It's cheap, and you have a thinking, breathing bomb that can adjust to circumstances and cross the street to hit another target if the original one doesn't look good.

With a civilian target, female bombers tend to be more successful and cause more damage.

A lot of movements use women's involvement to shame men when recruitment is sagging.

The terrorists provide an outlet where with just one action, a raped woman can go from being a source of dishonour to her family to being a source of pride in a culture of martyrdom.

The air smelled of a limited life expectancy.

When it comes to creating things, I compete with nature not with men.

But I know that for every good thing that comes along, there is always a cost.

If you admire somebody you should go ahead and tell them

We see neither justice nor injustice which does not change its nature with change in climate. Three degrees of latitude reverse all jurisprudence; a meridian decides the truth.

The greater the scientific advance, the more primitive the fear.

I don't hafta take his sass

I think maybe one day I'll go back to music. I don't know. I don't know if sometimes you lose a passion or you don't lose it, it becomes more personal and less about sharing it with everyone.

I beat my sons in real-life table tennis, but virtually, I get murdered. I download games on the iPhone that I'm addicted to - I'm a master at "Angry Birds."

If you want success, you have to work hard at it and realize that it takes time; it doesn't come to you overnight.
