I kept getting pretty farmultiple callbacks, camera teststhen it would be a no.

I was like, God, Yaron, maybe I should quit.

Then my agent called and said Warner Brothers wanted to audition me for something.

Zack [Snyder, the director] called before I met with Ben Affleck.

I tried to sound nonchalant, like, Oh yeah, Wonder Woman, sure.

She is not relying on a man, and shes not there because of a love story.

And itsallher heartthatsher strength.

I think women are amazing for being able to show what they feel.

I admire women who do.

I think its a mistake when women cover their emotions to look tough.

I say lets own who we are and use it as a strength.

I feel so much better now.

When you feel strong, it changes everythingyour posture, the way you walk.

I look at photos from five years ago and think, Whoa, I was too skinny.

Feminism is about equality.

I wantallpeople to have the same opportunities and to get the same salaries for the same jobs.

I realize Im doing what I want to do because of the women before me who laid the groundwork.

Movie

Without them I wouldnt be an educated working mother who is following her dreams; I wouldnt be here.

It should have happened a long time ago!

GLAMOUR:Do you feel those expectations?

Wonder Woman

GG:I do.

But not in a bad way.

I feel like, Yes, I can do itlike any man can do Superman or Captain America.

GLAMOUR:Its pretty far from where you thought youd be.

GG:Nothing I planned happened.

But whenever opportunity arose, I was prepared and positive.

Whats mine is mine, and whats not mine was never meant to be.
