If you want to be right-sized in body, you've got to get rid of the supersize way of life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When it comes to size, most people don't want to see themselves looking bigger than what they are.
Just because you're a different size doesn't mean you're sitting on the couch eating bonbons all day long watching TV.
It's about learning what's important and what's not important, and at the end of the day, what size you are does not matter at all. I don't have time to worry about that stuff; I'm going to be healthy.
People have this conception of plus size models as girls who aren't fit or don't work out or don't really take care of their bodies.
I was always trying to make up for my size, to compensate. So to get people to take you seriously, you have to come at things with a great deal of strength. You have to emphasize that the way you are is unusual. That you don't come along every day.
Plus-sized women shouldn't think of themselves as a size. They should think of themselves as women with rich goals in life. Size doesn't mean, really, anything. You can carry your size with pride and dress in a way that you like.
The body must stay fit. Fit people like themselves much better.
A lot of people like to be supertiny, but I don't want a child's body - I want a woman's body that is extremely fit. It's so much sexier.
I think every character I play has a physicality to them, so I have to stay in some sort of shape. I'll never be a size two. And I don't want to be a size two.
While we can work hard at improving our health, size is no more in our control than the color of our skin, our ethnicity, or our sexual preference.
