To be able to design for the plus-sized consumer, for me, that's just beyond. It's a dream.

It just sucks when you’ve given so much and you realize it still wasn't good enough for someone.

You can't expect everyone to love you. I'm not someone who just wants to throw out hate, just because.

I'm the ugly sister. I'm the fat one. I'm the transvestite. I have had those mean things said about me at least twice a day for the last five years. It's horrible, you know? But I can brush that stuff off.

Fame comes and fame goes, but you have to be able to laugh about yourself and to take it with a grain of salt.

I try to focus more on the positive, but it's half the time I'm getting, "Oh you're only in the gym to take a picture," and it's like, "So what the f--k, I'm in here every day, I drove an hour just to take a picture?"

I don't believe in revenge. When people are bullies it's because of a deeper-rooted issue - either their family life is tough or they're being bullied by someone bigger than they are.
