If feminism was a dress, it would be that essential little black number, reached for in times of need; different for everyone but a steady constant in a woman's life. Outspoken or understated, demure or provocative, worn to reflect the mood, the personality, the time.

Esther McVey

Somewhere between this kind of cruising freedom, and this understated moment where all these little things intertwine to create a bigger sound. You don't want one thing to be bright, or too prevalent.

Adam Granduciel

My acting's very understated. I think my sad and happy don't play that differently onscreen.

Hugh Grant does a great job with his style. Somehow understated yet timeless and seems to get it. He does it on and off camera.

What I like about Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is that it's an understated scent that's somehow familiar.

Edie Campbell

If I could visit dead authors, I'd head right over to E. B. White, though I'm so in awe of him I'd probably just sit at his feet and weep. He's the master of clarity, of understated humor, of palatable political conviction.

Elizabeth Berg

Climbing is an understated culture.

Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi

If feminism was a dress, it would be that essential little black number, reached for in times of need; different for everyone but a steady constant in a woman's life. Outspoken or understated, demure or provocative, worn to reflect the mood, the personality, the time.

The value of a loving family cannot be understated.

Gary Herbert

I'm quite a shy person, but I know I'm a good football player. That's just the way I am. That's the way I grew up. My grandmother brought me up, and she is the same way. She's understated, but she knows what she's worth.

Georginio Wijnaldum

Understated jewellery is not for me. It's too itsy-bitsy. My husband is lucky, as I've never had a yen for real jewels.

Iris Apfel

Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.

A mourning dove's beauty is an understated one: the colors of its feathers ranging through various shades of gray and drab violet, often with a striking splash of turquoise around the eyes.

Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated.

Kate Winslet

What is classical music if not the epitome of sensuality, passion, and understated erotica that popular music, even with all of its energy and life, cannot even begin to touch?

Lara St. John

I'm understated in my approach.
