Stereotype Quotes - page 3

I do try and stay away from the stereotype and getting typecast. (Elisha Cuthbert)
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 emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that. View quote
Emily Blunt
The 'serial kisser' tag that has been thrust on to me is a lame stereotype. It irritates me. Yes, there is sexual content in my movies, and I have never been apologetic about doing bold scenes. But it's not fair to tag me this way because that can be very stifling. View quote
Emraan Hashmi
I don't think people understand the model-minority stereotype is negative. You are boxed in. You have to untangle that to find your own path. View quote
Eddie Huang
There have been women who stumbled across Feministing randomly, through a bizarre Google search or something, and had no idea what feminism was. They thought it was something older women do, or bought into the hairy bra-burning man-hating stereotype 100 percent. Anything that deviates from that is very exciting for them. View quote
Jessica Valenti
There is that stereotype of a nerd with the high pants and pocket protector and that kind of thing. That can sustain comedy for maybe a movie - hence the 'Revenge of the Nerds' franchise - but not for hopefully years on the air. It's a sight gag, not a story. View quote
Johnny Galecki
You really can't stereotype people or put them in boxes, it's unfair. View quote
Kesha
I believe the biggest challenge is just getting the courage to try something different or new. Try to forget the stereotype in your mind. Yoga is for everyone - children, athletes, moms, dads, accountants, truck drivers, even country stars. View quote
Kristian Bush
I've just been really lucky to not be too much of a stereotype. View quote
Marisa Tomei
There aren't as many roles, and I think there's a lack of openness in casting an Asian character in a leading role or unless they're a stereotype. It's been hard. I've been able to play some non-stereotypical roles, which is great, but I have a lot of Asian actor friends who are struggling. View quote
Kimiko Glenn
I always worked mostly in Quebec. I never thought of the States, somehow. I don't know - I don't have blue eyes or blond hair. I thought I didn't fit with the stereotype of America. (Karine Vanasse)
Every character when born is a stereotype. View quote
Michael Patrick King
Definitely, I think I fulfill a very funny Indian stereotype because I love technology. It's something I've always been interested in. View quote
Manish Dayal
I think that young women and little girls need to see that they don't have to be the damsel in distress. They don't have to not show their strength. They don't have to be whatever the stereotype is or the tropes that we go to in our minds. View quote
Octavia Spencer
But it's a very universal story and the thing is I was reluctant to answer that question because I don't want people latching on to a particular stereotype. View quote
Parminder Nagra
In the John Wayne movies, the Indians were savages that were trying to scalp you. That culture has really suffered because of the stereotype you see in those westerns. View quote
Ricky Schroder
I think it's very easy for people to stereotype athletes, good and bad. View quote
Ricky Williams
Warren Moon and Doug Williams really didn't run that much. That's the negative stereotype when it comes to African-American quarterbacks, that most of us just run. Those guys threw it around. I like to think I can throw it around a little bit. View quote
Robert Griffin III
I have to say I wasn't a huge fan of 'Star Wars', and I'm still not, really, but you have to acknowledge that there's a huge fan base for it, and these people are really sweet. You can't stereotype a 'Star Wars' fan. View quote
Ralph Brown
You never hear about a pit bull doing anything good in the media. And they have a stigma to them... and, in many ways, pit bulls are like young African-American males. Whenever you see us in the news, it's for getting shot and killed or shooting and killing somebody - for being a stereotype. View quote
Ryan Coogler
In real life, I'm not super-posh but if that's the stereotype, I really don't care. It could be worse. (Sophie Ellis-Bextor)
It took me a couple years to get over the stereotype I was letting myself get caught up on, being a football player trying to start a career in music. View quote
Sam Hunt
As a female, you are often being asked by directors to be warmer, softer, flirt more, smile more etc... None of those things are bad, and obviously we are capable of a variety of human behavior, but it gets really old having to play into somebody's stereotype or ideal. View quote
Trieste Kelly Dunn
In some instances, I don't care what people think. In other instances, I do - especially because of the stereotype. People take a look at me and say, 'She's cute. She's blond. She's an actress. She's a bimbo.' You know? So I take great pains to show I'm intelligent, to show I'm not a twinkie. View quote
Teri Polo
The stereotype is the Eternal Feminine. She is the Sexual Object sought by all men, and by all woman. She is of neither sex, for she has herself no sex at all. Her value is solely attested by the demand she excites in others. All she must contribute is her existence. View quote
Germaine Greer
