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

Stereotypes do exist, but we have to walk through them.

Stereotypes lose their power when the world is found to be more complex than the stereotype would suggest. When we learn that individuals do not fit the group stereotype, then it begins to fall apart.

I don't think people understand the model-minority stereotype is negative. You are boxed in. You have to untangle that to find your own path.

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.'

I hate stereotypes and I hate cliche.

I don't believe in stereotypes. Most of the time, stereotypes are just that.

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

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