It's true that heroes are inspiring, but mustn't they also do some rescuing if they are to be worthy of their name? Would Wonder Woman matter if she only sent commiserating telegrams to the distressed?

Jeanette Winterson

Rescuing people from 8,450 meters is way harder than climbing a mountain.

Nirmal Purja

Now, I’m not even saying that girls shouldn’t have princesses in their lives, the archetype in and of itself is not innately wrong, but there should be more options to choose from. So that was my intent, to demonstrate how ridiculous it is to paint an entire gender of heroes with one superficial brush.

David Trumble

I have four boys and two girls, and the girls, they typically want you to draw princesses, Tinkerbell, Cinderella, things like that.

Steve Breen

I love to ride horses. I've ridden since I was a kid so I got to do some riding, which was a lot of fun. But most of the stunts were left to the girls. It's the girls rescuing the guys mostly. So it was kind of really kick-ass, girl power. It was wonderful to watch. It was particularly sexy. They would come in and just slay in these choreographed pentagram of death fight scenes. It was pretty impressive.

Douglas Booth

Boys, boys, boys. Boys buy the little spinny tops, they but the action figures, girls buy princesses, we're not selling princesses.

Paul Dini

Glory drags all men along, low as well as high, bound captive at the wheels of her glittering car.

Horace

It's so important for young girls of color - young girls of any color - to see diverse women as the heroes of their own story.

Candice Patton

Girls like to see girls dressed up like princesses occasionally. Guys don”t really care, they just want to get the clothes off.

Nelly Furtado

Appreciation is the oil that lubricates life and keeps your wheels turning easily and freely. Without appreciation, your wheels will still spin, but they are apt to become rusted with resentment and exhaustion. Since there is great truth in the well-known statement "We teach people how to treat us," you can start teaching others to shower you with appreciation by showering yourself first.

Sue Thoele

Girls like to see girls dressed up like princesses occasionally.

Nelly Furtado

It's an interesting thing to play the heroes of our society, like cops and firefighters. They're the basic heroes that, as little boys and little girls, you look up to as the first heroes of your small, specific community.

Omari Hardwick

The creative person is overpowered, captive of and driven by a demon... They become our legendary heroes.

Carl Jung

Cosplayers love Disney princesses. We all grew up with them. We identify with one or more princesses.

Yaya Han

But it's a Broadway show, so even if you're Christine in Phantom, you're still a princess. All female leads are princesses whether they're Disney princesses or not.
