And Brooke Elliott is a great actress.

It's not an area where designers want to focus or pay attention - women who are larger than a size 12.

I understand the all black or all white look (to be perfectly blunt, it's easy and you don't have to think about it very much) but would any of us really want to be one of those people?

I'm not sure what the moral is here...I really just wanted to tell that story.

If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.

I'm doing all that I can to prod the industry and get them to pay more attention [to larger women and petite women]. Because I find it to be reprehensible and repugnant that two populations that are so pervasive in this nation should be so badly neglected.

Life is not a solo act. It's a huge collaboration, and we all need to assemble around us the people who care about us and support us in times of strife.
