I never said I wanted to be a singer for the rest of my life.

I really worshipped Mama Cass a lot. Mama Cass, who was really fat and she didn't lose weight. Yeah, she went on diets but for the most part of her life and the better part of her career she was a big person.

I don't love the word luxury because it feels Bougy to me.

You know, either I'm too fat or I'm flavour of the month. I don't feel either, but maybe I'm both, who knows?

The shape is the most important to me because it is what really matters and what's really missing in the market. Anything else is easier.

High school wasn't so bad though because, by then, I had worked out that there were far more nerdy kids and poor kids than there were rich, popular kids, so, at the very least, we had them outnumbered.

Reclaiming the word fat was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth, because the truth is that I am fat, and that's ok. So now when someone calls me fat, I agree, whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.
