When I meet large women who walk with confidence and are articulate and really have an understanding of how they walk in this world, I love them so deeply for being able to overcome such unbelievable odds.

Years ago women of my size were considered royalty.

On The Practice, I get to do what I love to do, and I am making a contribution that will, in the end, help raise social consciousness, dispel some of the myths about being large, and change the way that people view and interact with large people

One of the things I did when I was in New York, which has a wonderful deaf community, is I have worked on making Broadway more accessible to deaf people.

Street performers, homemade crafts, keep your wallet in your front pocket and don't buy any crap!

For a long time, I really struggled with the idea of being an actor because I really felt that I should be in the Peace Corps.
