Society prizes a girl for being thin more than anything else she might bring to the table.

I don't get this whole super-skinny obsession. I really think women look more beautiful when they let their curves show.

I've been to a lot of photo shoots, and I see these girls that are just really thin. They're not healthy. They don't work out.

A lot of people work out to be skinny. That's so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman.

What is this drive to be thinner, prettier, better dressed, other? Who exactly is this other and what does she look like beyond the jacket she's wearing or the food she's not eating? What might we be doing, thinking, feeling about if we didn't think about body image, ever?

The pressure on women to be thin is like a plague. I have gone through my life, like a lot of women, rating my experiences on the basis of, 'Was I thin at that time or fat?' And it doesn't seem to let up.

What people don't understand is that calling someone too skinny is the same as calling someone too fat; it's not a nice feeling.

I feel badly for those girls who have to be so waif thin, doing those catwalks all the time because, luckily, we're going into a different time - that's what they're saying, at least - in we're appreciating a curvier figure. But to be honest, I couldn't be like an hourglass if I tried.

It actually makes perfect sense why women in Hollywood get so skinny: because it's a way of controlling how people see you.

I feel for the overly thin women as I do for the overweight women.
