Quote

I'm being mocked because I don't live up to a socially determined view of what other people think a person should look like.

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

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

I've never liked to play stereotypes.

I don't like stereotypes - no kind of stereotypes.

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

You don't tell people who disagree with you they'd be better off somewhere else. And you don't reduce them to stereotypes; you address them as fully formed people worthy of respect. You try to persuade them.

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.

We shouldn't judge people through the prism of our own stereotypes.
