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.

I feel sorry... for people who've had skinny privilege and then have it taken away from them. I have had a lifetime to adjust to seeing how people treat women who aren't their idea of beautiful and therefore aren't their idea of useful, and I had to find ways to become useful to myself.

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.

Not everyone wants to be sexy everyday, wearing tight dresses and spanx.

I'm a great believer in karma and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me.

I am tired of spending a little bit of money in a lot of pieces because they keep on falling apart.

I want to make the IKEA of clothes for fat girls and boys. Cheap, affordable, basic - but ethically made. Basics, you know? Like Spanx - I'm still confused as to why retailers haven't ripped them off yet and done it well. It's because they don't understand the basics behind it. I love Spanx. I'm wearing 'em right now!
