“‘Wonder Woman’ was never developed to the point where she felt any emotions, but she was independent and did what she felt was right. But it was a character that existed before Lynda Carter. I’m glad to be doing other things. I would like to have seen ‘Wonder Woman’ develop a little more character.” — Lynda Carter
Jerry Buck (1982)
“In many ways, it was a groundbreaking role because at that time network executives did not think that a woman could carry a drama series. Television was very male-driven until the 1970s.” — Lynda Carter
“I’m a feminist, which means I’m for women, but I’m not against men at all. I simply feel that women should respect one another be responsible for themselves.” — Lynda Carter

“I’m nice to look at. Sometimes I look at photos of me and I can’t really believe it is me. Sometimes I get angry or snooty and if I start acting like that, they call me a blankety-blank.” — Lynda Carter

“It’s not about whether my reading is good. It’s, ‘How does Lynda look?’ If people have not seen you recently, there is a tendency in this business for them to think you had a bad facelift or gained 50 pounds. When I go to meetings, I can see the relief on their faces.” — Lynda Carter
