I have such an image of a mafioso.

Every quirky girl doesn't have to be the best-friend character. It's a very limiting and self-fulfilling prophecy. People only write things that will get green-lit, so they write to those stereotypes.

I like to look at it as things and people and whole society in general being uneducated about facts. There are a lot of stereotypes. But I don't see color, I don't see race.

The stereotype of New Yorkers is that we're people who avoid warm human interaction, we're always in too much of a rush to enjoy simple things, and that we're just generally rude.

People in general are used to seeing me as the naughty girl because that's what they've always cast me as.

People never believe it when they find out I'm a karate world champion. They don't see me as the type because I'm small and blonde.

I'm such a blonde. It just doesn't make sense for me to have dark hair.

Are Christians too stupid that we can't write a script, we can't film a movie OR we don't know how to act?

So many young black women love science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. But that's not the widely held image of the kind of person who likes those things.

Having been labelled at school and in the workplace as 'sassy,' 'feisty,' 'aggressive,' 'hard' and 'dramatic,' I started to believe these stereotypes. I self-stereotyped and became sure I would...

Cleveland gets crapped on a lot.

Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing...

Don't let Labour's stereotypes and low expectations hold you back, and never let them treat you like a black sheep who will always follow them.

I think Jews are the smartest people in the world.

The women whose company I most enjoy are invariably loud, opinionated, funny types who can best be described as 'blokey.' But they are not, sadly, representative of my gender as a whole.

I always prided myself on trying to break the stigma of the 'dumb jock.'

I didn't think it was possible for Asians to be actors.

I joke around all the time, 'I'm Asian; I'm really good at math.'

If you think because I'm a pretty girl I can't mow a lawn, I'm offended.

If someone were to come from another planet and see the world through movies, they'd think that the world was populated by white men in their 30s who shoot a lot.

It's this patronizing thing that people have about if you're against the war, everyone's lumped together. You know, the soldiers are not scholars; they're not war experts.

I don't think I'm defying stereotypes on purpose. If it so appears that way, so be it. For me, I've been brought up that way.

Ever since I was a kid and growing up and watching things like the 'Naked Gun' movies, there was always this stereotype about how Arabs were perceived and portrayed. I've never watched those Arab...

Every single interview I have ever done on TV or in print says I'm a Muslim.

I never understood the idea that I was a 'backpack rapper.' I think that's a lazy way that people started thinking. They like saying that because I got dreads. I look like I belong a certain place, so...

I think it's funny when stereotypes happen.

In so much SF, either gender roles are the ones we're used to in the here and now, only transported to the future, or else they're supposedly different, but characters still are slotting into various...

I think we assume a lot about both genders. But in particular I think we assume that only boys play games and that boys are only interested in playing games that reflect their narratives and their...

I'm not a real blond... Shocking.

Thirty percent of Americans have German blood in their family. I don't see any major difference in the engineering abilities of Americans and Germans.
