I think that the work that's left to be done - and I see the end in sight at this point - is to just let go and stop talking about it. It's definitely 'stop talking about the whole size thing.' I don't go to my girlfriend's house and say, 'Hey, I'm your big friend, let's talk about big things.' It's not a topic of conversation within my friend group - I'm ready for society, Hollywood, the press, magazines, everyone, to just catch up and say, 'These women are just like the women we've been using for so long. Let's just throw them into the mix and stop talking about it.'

We are lucky to live in a world made up of so many different kinds of people and I am confident in the direction we are going.

My fans are incredible. Don't you dare talk bad about me on my Instagram, because my fans will come out and they will eat you alive.

If a plus-size woman is not represented in fashion or on TV, what the hell are we doing?

I felt free, once I realized i was never going to fit the narrow mold that society wanted me to fit in.

I feel like we have to have [plus size models] as soon as possible. We're the norm. We're the majority.

Growing up I didn't have curvy role models, mainly because I didn't see enough curvy women represented in major ads.
