Wisdom for Every Moment
Wonder Woman is a fighter, better than most, but it's what she fights for that is important. It's her vision of a future of peace and acceptance that makes her the right ambassador for everyone.
I am very much in favor of women's rights, being a woman myself, and I support intelligent, successful, independent working women.
For me, it was important Wonder Woman wouldn't be a Goody Two-Shoes. She has a little bit of attitude, and when she fights, she has a smirk on her face. I didn't want her to be polished. I want people to relate to her.
In real life, I'm the type of girl who doesn't take herself too seriously. I'm very serious when it comes to work, but I like to make jokes and have a good laugh and make fun of myself.
I danced for 12 years, and I played a lot team sports: basketball, volleyball.
At the end of the day, Wonder Woman is a peace seeker. But when fight arrives, she can fight. She's a warrior, and she enjoys the adrenaline of the fight.
I'm kind of sarcastic. Not cynical but sarcastic.
I represent the 'Wonder Woman' of the new world.
Growing up, I was a dancer. I wanted to be a choreographer.
Let me start by saying I wish no country had the need for an army. But in Israel, serving is part of being an Israeli. You've got to give back to the state. You give two or three years, and it's not about you. You give your freedom away. You learn discipline and respect.
A baby comes with such responsibility. Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.
I really liked to perform. My mother always tells this story: I was five. They had a party, and they'd put me to bed. I heard everyone on the rooftop, and I went upstairs. No one paid any attention to me, so I took a hose and sprayed everyone. Very elegant, right? 'It's me! Look at me!' I loved the attention.
I think women are amazing for being able to show what they feel. I admire women who do. I think it's a mistake when women cover their emotions to look tough. I say let's own who we are and use it as a strength.
I try to eat healthy. But sometimes, though, I eat cheeseburgers. That's good for the soul. I make sure to balance everything out. I drink tons of water.
Wonder Woman, she's amazing. I love everything that she represents and everything that she stands for. She's all about love and compassion and truth and justice and equality, and she's a whole lot of woman.
The good thing about being an actress is that it's very children-friendly. I can work for three months, and then I can have six months off.
All my life, I've been working with male directors, which I've really enjoyed. And I'm lucky in that I've worked with men who have a lot of respect for women. But working with a woman is a different experience. It feels like the communication is different.
I do cardio, but I don't like it as much. I'd rather do weights.
For me especially, I travel a lot, and with the weather change and everything, my skin gets dehydrated very fast.
I feel that I've got the opportunity to set a great role model for girls to look up to a strong, active, compassionate, loving, positive woman, and I think it's so important.
There aren't enough good roles for strong women. I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are the 'poor heartbroken girl.'
The Wonder Woman that you see in 'Batman v Superman' is a woman who has been around, and she's very experienced. She understands a lot about man. Whereas, in the standalone movie, we are telling the grown-up story, Diana becoming Wonder Woman, and this was a story that was never told before.
For me, being an actress, my responsibility is not to pay attention to all the noise around me and to pay attention to the script and the director and protect the character and try to tell her story the best I can.
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
Some men see things as they are, and say why. I dream of things that never were, and say why not.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

Hell is full of musical amateurs.
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.
Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.
The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.
