Lynda Carter

“'Wonder Woman' is much more than a cartoon character. She's fighting for truth and justice and the secret self that exists in all women and girls. There's a moral fiber and a goodness about her that all women have.”

“I think that people like to put you down to one line - a synopis of some kind. And I just don't pay any attention to it.”

“I always supported gay issues, but I never understood transgender issues. But after I heard Bruce Jenner speak so honestly, so sincerely, and so relatably, I totally got it. I totally understood what he was saying - it was so compelling.”

“I asked my husband if he was surprised by all the #MeToo stories. 'Yeah, I'm surprised,' he said. Ask any woman, they're not surprised. It's been going on for years.”

“I've been standing with and united with the gay community. I know so many gay men and women that homophobia is such a baffling thing for me.”

“I just want my audiences to be entertained and feel like they're part of the show. I want to show them a good time and create an experience they're going to enjoy.”

“I'd been singing since I was 14 and on the road since high school, and I was very independent. Then I was Miss U.S.A. and had to have a chaperone and spent a year opening supermarkets. It was all so silly, wearing a crown and banner when it was the 1970s and women's liberation was everywhere. That was quite a stigma to overcome.”

“You want to see women your own age in films.”

“I just adore RuPaul... this guy is a tireless worker, just with everything that he does, and I just think he's so fabulous.”

“I row my boat on the river. I swim, ski, walk, lift weights, do yoga and Pilates. I don't want to be a weak, sick 90-year-old.”

“I, for one, always expect my husband to read my mind.”

“People always want me to talk about Wonder Woman, so I do.”

“I sing because I love it. People may come to my shows because they are curious about 'Wonder Woman' but I hope they return because they enjoy my singing.”

“There is a part of 'Wonder Woman' inside me and inside every woman, kind of that secret self that women share. We are all caretakers, giving birth, caring for our children and companions and loved ones.”

“When we look at countries that suppress women's rights, I think that they are missing the point. Women have so much to offer.”

“I want to do everything right now! This very minute. I am impatient, but yes I have goals. To be a real well-respected actress whom people know they can rely on to do a good job... whether they like me as a person or not!”

“I don't agree with beauty contests. I did it one time. It wasn't embarrassing being Wonder Woman; it was embarrassing walking around on stage in a bikini. It was ridiculous, stupid, and humiliating.”

“I'll tell you what it is... just why 'Wonder Woman' worked. Or 'Bionic Woman,' or any of those, really. It was because it wasn't about brawn... it was about brains. And yes, she happened to be beautiful, she happened to be kind of extraordinary in some way, but she wasn't a guy.”

“I believe every woman in the Bill Cosby case.”

“I try to avoid cheese, dairy and a lot of meat, but I do like them.”
