Lynda Carter Quotations

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.

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

I'm an adventurer and I enjoy all types of things, and eating is a part of that. It's just too bad we have to watch what we eat.

My only interest in women's clothes is what's underneath them.

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

You want to see women your own age in films.

Nothing can trump that trial. It was hard on me, hard on the family -- very difficult for all of us. But we weathered the storm, and we are closer and better and have a keener sense of what is valuable in life.

I don't know that the people that are doing Wonder Woman are too interested in my point of view,

I first walked into the costume designer and saw she had short shoes, tweed jacket, little bun and glasses,

Having them go to these premieres with me and tell me that they are proud of me is pretty cool.

her little rear end was showing all the time.

I was also happy to see girls represented in this superhero thing all the way through,

I think it should be an unknown (actress) and about 20 years old. People have talked about Sandra Bullock - she's too old and so is Catherine Zeta-Jones,

My husband was a saint. I was there for him, and he was there for me, and we love each other.

It all depends on the ratings. You know, never. It's possible. I'm not dead, so who knows? This character's got a lot of ways to go. She's a perfect narcissist and self-involved. Her worth was her beauty, and in this episode, she's learning that she's not all that anymore, but she still thinks she is.

was afraid of not living up to what people thought I was.

Warner Bros owns Wonder Woman and they need permission for every little thing you do, ... Unfortunately they didn't want them stepping on the character that they own.

Someone without a lot of fame baggage is important.

As my children get older and these things come my way, it's exciting,

I told him ... she can't be a shrinking violet. You cast me! It's not just somebody else. It's me! Let's just bomb her out,

It's sometimes overshadowed by the fact that there's so much else going on and so much flash, but he won't do anything if he doesn't feel the characters are strong.

I've been working for so long, ... it's nice to be doing a role in which there are so many dimensions.

I want her to be wonderful and fabulous,

It's not about guys falling all over themselves, because she would just whack them on the head and say 'Get a grip!'

At this time in my life, I'm not so interested in playing the same TV movie again about toxic waste or anorexic children. I'm much more interested in going outside of the box,

if I have to have any more boob shots I'm going to shoot myself.

Facing my addiction was one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life.

I'm thrilled that Wonder Woman and that character endures because every actor wants a role that has some positive affect and causes people to smile or have good memories and to endure. It doesn't just go away, fade away. It's been 25 years that it's been off the air and so it still surprises me when younger people recognize me or know my work.

It's not too bad to be a sort of pop icon, you know? It's not too tough to handle.

I will say that going to these meetings and things, you know, I thought that, you know, be in a room with a bunch of drunk people. Ugh! I can't do that. And the truth is, it is the cheapest therapy that you could ever get. You're in a group of people that are from all walks of life, you know. Some guy that's got, you know, construction stuff on and dust still on, to a person that's the CEO of a company. And it's a common - it's a common abyss that you shared.

It never really felt like I had a lot of substance in my life. I had broken up with my former husband (Ron Samuels) and I kind of looked around. I didn't have a lot of friends. I had become isolated by fame. I longed for a family and some substantive relationships. Fame is a vapor. You can't grab hold of it.

I never meant to be a sexual object for anyone but my husband. I never thought a picture of my body would be tacked up in men's bathrooms. I hate men looking at me and thinking what they think. And I know what they think. They write and tell me.

We moved around a lot at first as a kid, and then I was on the road at 17, and new in town by the time I got to LA, and then famous again with that whirlwind. I did really want substance in my life, and when I stopped with the road for my children, it was really because I didn't want to miss out. It wasn't just selflessness. I didn't want to miss out on that.

I'll tell you...why Wonder Woman worked. Or Bionic Woman. Or any of those [shows] 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. And I think that, [now], they...put out a female hero, and all they are doing is changing the costume from a man to a woman...they're not showcasing any of the tremendous dichotomies than women possess in term of softness and toughness, sweetness and grit, inner and outer strength.

People have tried to put me in a box my whole life. I'm too tall. I'm too pretty. Too Miss USA. Wonder Woman. Prettiest woman in the world. And all of that. It doesn't matter because I've gone my own way and have tried to approach my career from a gut level, doing what I thought was right.

I hope that I have a body of work by the time that I'm done with all of this that I'm proud of. Certainly the cornerstone will always be Wonder Woman and I love her.

Every gay reader understands the secret self that is full and wonderful and has longing and tenderness and a desire for connection to other people. I think that arguments against gay marriage are just ridiculous! Who cares? People want to get married for the same reason I wanted to get married. They want to do it in front of their friends and family
