Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.

I just want you to be yourself. Be a bigger yourself.

I really, really love China. To be honest, the food is so amazing! When I first went to Beijing and Shanghai, I actually became obsessed with soup dumplings, and would stand in lines and get them on the street. It was something that I became obsessed with and when I came back to the States, I did all this research for the best soup dumplings in the Los Angeles area and in the New York area and it was amazing to find those Asian dishes that were authentic and I can enjoy them at home.

I talked about adopting a baby when I was 20 years old, before it became 'hip.'

I love all kinds of bread. Whenever I crave junk food, I want salty things like peanuts or potato chips.

I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that's where I got famous.

I didn't have a job because nobody would hire me. My friends were getting hired, and I couldn't even get a job interview. That really rocked my self-esteem because I didn't understand what I did wrong on those job applications.
