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.

I have lived my life in a culture that hates fat people.

Acting forces you to ask yourself, 'Can my constitution take a decade of constant rejection?' And after ten years, you either make it or you don't. And the problem is they don't tell you in advance.

It's important to me that I look good on television because, let's face it, I'm single, and you want somebody to watch the show and fall in love with you

Waiting, waiting, waiting. All my life, I've been waiting for my life to begin, as if somehow my life was ahead of me, and that someday I would arrive at it.

Handsome, thin, sophisticated men often fall madly in love with larger women, we just never see it on TV.

Almost everything I do is related to being fat.
