Teens are being portrayed with depth because they are multidimensional, and they deserve to be portrayed as such.

Kiernan Shipka

There are stories to be told that are still untold and characters to be portrayed that haven't been portrayed correctly. So there's work to be done.

Shonda Rhimes

Sometimes, you get portrayed the way you don't want to be portrayed.

Gina Carano

I think it's strange for people to read about themselves, no matter what's portrayed or how it's portrayed. But they get used to it, and I think they're fine with it.

Robert Kurson

I have never read a really good novel written by a man where women are portrayed as they truly are. They can be portrayed externally very well - Stendhal's Madame de Renal, for example - but only as seen from the outside.

Simone de Beauvoir

So many times we're portrayed in ways that we don't want to be portrayed, in ways that make us seem so ridiculous.

Justina Machado

By and large, serious fiction was the work of victims who portrayed victims for an audience of victims who, it was oddly assumed, would want to see their lives realistically portrayed.

Gore Vidal

Spike Lee

Rush Limbaugh

Normally there is not dignity because the poor and dispossessed in a place like Morocco are portrayed as mere victims, or the Japanese are portrayed as cartoon figures with no humanity.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

The single best thing about Mars is the reduced gravity. It's 38 percent of Earth's gravity - about one third. Almost never have you seen that portrayed in film or television. Mars is just portrayed as a place that's got reddish sand but is otherwise pretty much identical to the Mojave Desert, and that's not the case.
