On filming Wonder Woman reshoots and Justice League while pregnant:
"We cut open the costume and had this green screen on my stomach. It was funny as hell – Wonder Woman with a bump."
On being a feminist:
"People always ask me, 'Are you a feminist?' And I find the question surprising, because I think, 'Yes, of course. Every woman, every man, everyone should be a feminist. Because whoever is not a feminist is a sexist.' "
On her childhood in Israel:
"I had a very sheltered kind of life. There was no TV-watching. It was always 'Take a ball and go play.' In general, I was a good girl, a good student, a pleaser, and I was a tomboy. Always with wounds and scratches on my knees."
On realizing what an opportunity it was to play Wonder Woman:
"I've had my moments where I've felt like men were misbehaving – nothing sexual, but inappropriate in a sexist way. Dismissive. Life wasn't always rosy and peachy for me as a woman in the world...[Wonder Woman] stands for love and hope and acceptance and fighting evil."
On her paternal grandfather losing his entire family in Auschwitz:
"His entire family was murdered – it's unthinkable. He affected me a lot. After all the horrors he'd seen, he was like this damaged bird, but he was always hopeful and positive and full of love. If I was raised in a place where these values were not so strong, things would be different. But it was very easy for me to relate to everything that Wonder Woman stands for."
