I'm certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess.

I'm always tinkering with something - suddenly I'll think I can work with wood, but then I'll realize I can't, so I go back to sewing.

I don't associate with people who blame the world for their problems. You are your problem. You are also your solution.

I want to be healthy.

I don't know any neighborhoods where everyone's walking around in seven-inch heels and perfect makeup.

I don't like to do anything that's mean spirited just because I don't find it funny. I'd rather be the jackass than makes fun of somebody else. It just seems too cheap and easy.

I've never felt like I needed to change. I've always thought, 'If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.' But sure, criticism can sometimes still get to me. Some things are so malicious, they knock the wind out of you. It's like I'm managing to achieve all this success in spite of my affliction... Would you ever put [America's plus-size sweetheart] in the headline for a male star?
