This is not the first time in my life where you know going into a job that you're going to hear in stereo what was wrong with what you did.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
If you don't acknowledge differences, it's as bad as stereotyping or reducing someone.
Aasif Mandvi
I am not one of those people who will ever be comfortable mocking or making caricatures of the stereotypes attached to any community.
Abhishek Bachchan
People are so quick to demonize and stereotype those on the other side that they often say that it's impossible to work with people on the other side.
Adam Conover
Doing the stereotypical solo bores me.
Adam Jones
I think the least stereotypical gay character on television is probably Matt LeBlanc on 'Episodes.' He just plays it so straight-faced. They never talk about the fact that he's such a huge gay person.
Adam Pally
When you're a large black man in Hollywood, the obvious stereotype is one of force and menace.
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
If I hadn't left South Africa, I felt I was at risk of being pigeonholed. I looked around and saw actors who, 10 to 15 years into their careers, were still playing stereotypical Afrikaans characters, stereotyped Indian characters. That was not something that I wanted for myself.
Adhir Kalyan
Success on the front of women's rights will look like a world not only with obvious advances - where no girl is denied access to education, for instance - but also one with more subtle changes in how we regard gender and gender stereotypes.
Adora Svitak
I haven't ever been stereotyped or pigeonholed or put into a box.
Adrian Pasdar
I'm a huge Stereolab fan.
Adrian Younge
I'm playing my first urban character in 'Thirudan Police.' It's an important film because I'll be breaking the stereotype that I'm only fit for rural characters with this role.
Aishwarya Rajesh
As an Italian-American, I have a special responsibility to be sensitive to ethnic stereotypes.
Al D'Amato
People who would never think of dealing in racial or sexual stereotypes will still throw in a fat joke because it's still OK. Really?
Al Roker
We get the worrywart, the hypochondriac, the money-grubbing miser, the intractable negotiator... Some would say certain of these refer to the stereotypical, or 'stage' Jew. But objectively speaking, the only crime in humor is an unfunny joke.
Alan King
The thing about stereotypes as we all know, there is often truth in them, but it's almost always a partial truth.
Alex Tizon
We have to destroy stereotypes in people's minds that Belarus can be isolated or taught a lesson.
Alexander Lukashenko
Stereotyped as convention-going, pocket-protector-wearing, chess-playing, infrequently-showering types, nerds are one of our society's most ridiculed groups. And, for a university with an international reputation as a bastion of intellectualism, Harvard is startlingly devoid of them.
Alexandra Petri
We know enough to reject the stereotype that people in the Midwest do not care about their brothers and sisters.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
People obsess about casting and representation, but really, all the real work is behind the camera. Casting an Asian American into a bad role where they're shoehorned into these stereotypes is worse than not having cast them at all.
Ali Wong
After 'Student Of The Year,' when I played that baby-doll, diva character, I knew I would be stereotyped, and I wanted to break that image of me. I loved that role, but I don't want to be attached to one particular genre, so 'Highway' was a blessing in disguise.
Any fiction writer who assumes that a character is typical no doubt runs the risk of stumbling into cliche and stereotype.
One way I try to manage it is by not having a princess party for my daughter and trying to do things that are not so stereotyped. But if she's invited to a princess party, of course I'm not going to stop her going.
A lot of times I watch TV and I watch film and there's so many things I'd love to talk about that I feel don't get the opportunity to be shown. Sometimes things become very stereotypical and one-sided, and I feel like it's such a colorful world.
Redheads get so stereotyped. You're either exotic and wild or totally Victorian.
The best standardisation committee in the world is nature herself, but in nature standardisation occurs mainly in connection with the smallest possible units: cells. The result is millions of flexible combinations in which one never encounters the stereotyped.
Despite the gender stereotypes in the '80s, my race-car-driving dad taught me that I could do whatever my brother could.
People think of me as a stereotype: muse, privileged, decorative. Classically, the muses were the inspiration. They'd come and go - they wouldn't actually make things, get their hands dirty. I don't think I'm a muse, although I think I can help pull a trigger. I really like getting my hands dirty.
I lost years of my life to prison because of two-dimensional and misogynist stereotypes.
When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended. I have been accused of being a bit of a spitfire, so in that way, I absolutely live up to the stereotype. The red hair suits my personality. I was a terrible blonde!
Humans can be cruel - kids and adults alike. That doesn't mean they have to be forced to a specific stereotype.
Unfortunately, in television today there are very few African-American characters who are human beings. They are typically two-dimensional stereotypes, cookie-cutter types.
Why should men be constrained by antiquated stereotypes of masculinity? What does it even mean to 'Be a Real Man' anymore? Shouldn't we all be celebrating a wide range of definitions of manhood?
Every job I've done so far, every character has been completely different, and that's really important to me because I don't want to fall into a stereotypical box. Of course, every actor has their box, and you have to respect and play for it, but I do love challenging myself.
I wanted to prove I wasn't that person everyone wanted to stereotype me. You can slag me off, I talk about my upbringing now and try and do it in a way that inspires others, but I never felt good about it.
After I quote unquote came out as a Republican, one of my dearest gay friends said to me, 'You've got to go on a T.V. show and tell everyone you like gay people.' I was like, 'Why?' He was like, 'Because you're a Republican.' I was like, 'I'm sorry who's stereotyping who?'
The way you speak should not determine your intelligence. I should be able to say 'lit,' and you still know I'm intelligent. I should be able to say 'turn up,' and that doesn't take away from my intelligence. I wanted to break down that stereotype a little bit.
I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something. I think, if anything, the press kind of, because of my gender and my age, tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It's part of the cultural dynamic, I guess.
The stereotypes really play into what kinds of companies women can get funded for.
People don't stereotype an actor anymore because they want to see them doing more content driven roles. I can do any role. I'm not worried about getting typecast because I'm doing a period film.
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 stereotypes.
I am far more pragmatic than the stereotype of the sex permits.
Sometimes in films it's nice to have violins on either side, rather than on one side, so you've got more of a stereo picture with the violins. Sometimes it's good to have the basses in the middle.
I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.
It's really rare that you come across a Southern character that's not stereotyped, vilified or aggrandized.
Negative gender stereotypes related to girls' education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics begin as early as primary school and have the devastating effect of making them doubt their own potential.
If, as a Spaniard, I am so often offended by the stereotypes that abound regarding my country, how can I accept and repeat the ones that fall even more heavily upon Israel?
When you are not part of an industry, your knowledge of that field is based on what you read and hear and on the stereotypes that are attached to it.
The stereotypes attached to Bollywood were that it's a big, bad world or that it's a dirty world.
I suppose British people generally, probably have very stereotypical notions about the Irish that go back to Victorian times.
