Costume people are always saying they don't have clothes big enough for me.

I'm not tall enough to be a model, but I wish I was 6-foot, because I love it. It's kind of artsy, and I'm artsy. And I love clothes.

I never set out to be a role model for large women, I just do what I feel is right.

If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.

I really don't think I ever thought I could be a model. I was shorter than all of the models around and certainly rounder than anybody that I had ever seen in a magazine.

I'm not a model, so the idea of modelling a suit or clothes is weird in itself.

Though designed as a mere convenience, clothing sizes establish an unintended norm, an ideal from which deviations seem like flaws. There's nothing like a trip to the dressing room to convince a woman - fat, thin, or in between - that she's a freak.

My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. And who'd have thought I'd be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!

And anyway, modeling wasn't for me. I'm too short. I've got a big butt. It wasn't going to happen.

You don't feel as self-conscious if your clothes fit.
