I always wanted to be a model, never an actress. I would see children in ads and stuff and wanted to be like them.

I know I'm never going to be one of those size 2 actresses - that's just not me. But I do want to be the healthiest I can be, and a role model to women of all shapes and sizes.

I'd like to be the role model to teach other people who have Down's syndrome to be actors and actresses and to be themselves and not try to be a big shot.

I would like to be more fit, but I don't think I will put on fat or gain weight for movie roles. I am not going to do that.

I want to be an inspirational model. I want people to look at me and say, 'Wow, she looks healthy.'

I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.

I've continued to always keep in mind having a healthy does of that in Hollywood, now that I am part of the system and obviously have to follow the way the system works - you still have to have that crazy determination.

In Hollywood, most things are based on looks, so I'd love to do something that has nothing to do with how I look.

I had spent my entire career not wanting to talk about weight, not wanting to deal with it, wanting to be an actor first.
