I've always enjoyed shows like 'The X-Files,' where you're on the edge of your seat and you're so invested in these characters.

I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.

Seriously, in America there are more big, curvy girls than there are little girls, and men love us, too.

When you get a jean for a larger girl, you have to have them tailored for you. Tailoring is indeed everything.

My mother's a genius. She just kept feeding me art on whatever we had; paper plates, silver platter, didn't matter. You know, she just kept feeding it to me. So we went to see all kinds of theater. We would go to the art museum pretty much every Sunday, and I would watch her. She let me know that art was supposed to touch.

At my aunt's funeral, I promised myself that I wouldn't be bound by the belief that I'm supposed to stay in anything - whether it's a relationship, a job, a house, or a circumstance - if it makes me miserable. She gave me the courage to find my own happiness.

People is, I think, it's their nature - some people's nature, in a way, to be angry or jealous or just spiteful about somebody else's blessings.
