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

As an actor, you don't have much choice about your appearance. It's a good excuse for looking ridiculous.

In Hollywood, a normal-size body is unruly.

Another thing that's pathetic is this rule that you have to look ugly to get respect as an actress. Jessica Lange had to make herself look really bad to prove that she had amazing talent.

All that some actresses want is for people to take them seriously instead of caring about how they look.

I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.

I thought that the fashion world could be a bit fake sometimes, but it's nothing compared to Hollywood. These girls would walk over their grandmothers' graves to get a part, and the producers talk about actresses like they're dirt, picking over every part of them so that they end up paranoid and having surgery.

There's always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses.

Fat bodies are used comically. I respect Rebel Wilson so much, and Melissa McCarthy. I love them both. But so often, I feel like fat female bodies are used as props.

Not all actresses know how to express their looks, I think. For me, it's an on-again, off-again thing. I'm still struggling.
