I'm not opposed to doing science fiction or comedy, but there has to be respect. I refuse to be the joke, the fat woman joke, in any movie. I've turned down roles.
...I will not be a sight gag for anybody. I will not do anything degrading to myself or other fat people.
Its really hard to go out knowing that you are going to be the center of attention just about anywhere you go and that its not going to be in a positive way.
