Gal Gadot has said that she considered quitting acting before the Wonder Woman role turned her into an international icon. "Before I got Wonder Woman, I was thinking about never coming back to Los Angeles, (I thought I'd) stay in Israel, work as an actress here and there, go back to university and do something else," Gadot said. "My husband has a lot of work in Tel Aviv, and we had a daughter, so taking them to LA to fish for work put a lot of pressure on me. I was like, 'Why am I doing this?' Hearing ‘no’, over and over, I was thinking, 'What am I good for?' And that's when I got Wonder Woman," she added.
