Gal Gadot

Growing up, I was a dancer. I wanted to be a choreographer. ”

It is so important for girls and boys to have a female, strong superhero to look up to. ”

I am very much in favor of women's rights, being a woman myself, and I support intelligent, successful, independent working women. ”

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.' ”

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. ”

What's so lovely about Wonder Woman is yes, she has the strength and power of a goddess, but she has the heart and mind of a human. So I play her as I think a woman like me would act in the situations she's going through. You treat her as a normal woman who happens to be fantastic and almighty. ”

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. ”

I represent the 'Wonder Woman' of the new world. ”

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. ”

I danced for 12 years, and I played a lot team sports: basketball, volleyball. ”
