I get tired of comedies where there are a bunch of funny guys and a beautiful woman who doesn't do anything funny. And I don't like books where there's a rough-and-tumble boy and a really clever, snotty girl. That's just not my experience with teenagers.

I got tired of books where the boy is a bit thick and the girl's very clever. Why does it have to such an opposition? Why can't they be like the girls and boys that I know personally, who are equally funny and equally cross? Who get things equally wrong and are equally brave? And make the same mistakes?

This woman is beautiful and clever: but how much cleverer she would have become if she were not beautiful!

I do like beauty, but an older woman can be beautiful and a clever woman is beautiful because that beauty shines through.

The definition of a beautiful woman is one who loves me.

Being a celebrity is probably the closest to being a beautiful woman as you can get.
