I always say wear what makes you feel most confident, and confidence doesn't always come over night.

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

I think knowing you're not alone is important. This generation is already better at standing up for themselves, saying, "No! You're not going to treat me like that. My standards are higher." But we can provide more education through stories. Just because someone who is older or with more authority says you have to do something, there's no reason you need to. One good thing is that there are new rules about how old you can be on set - more regulations. I think those are good.

Love yourself. Be proud of who you are.

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

Christie Brinkley told me that I needed to become a movie star because I have that something, and then we actually just became friends on set. She has such a young spirit, and is so vivacious. It was such a fun, fun shoot.

The sense of pride I take away from doing something I know will be inspire women to feel confident about their bodies.
