I've just been really lucky to not be too much of a stereotype.

There are a lot of stereotypes to be broken which I think a lot of us are doing. What I do is, as soon as people try to pin me down to one kind of part, I'll play a very different kind of role, so it explodes that stereotype.

People are much deeper than stereotypes. That's the first place our minds go. Then you get to know them and you hear their stories, and you say, 'I'd have never guessed.'

The whole idea of a stereotype is to simplify. Instead of going through the problem of all this great diversity - that it's this or maybe that - you have just one large statement; it is this.

I think I'm going to be stereotyped forever, but I'm not scared of being stereotyped.

Stereotypes happen. I try not to embrace them or avoid them.

It's not a stereotype if it's always true.

I was starting to buy into my own sort of stereotype in a way.

A stereotype may be negative or positive, but even positive stereotypes present two problems: They are cliches, and they present a human being as far more simple and uniform than any human being actually is.

I do try and stay away from the stereotype and getting typecast.
