It's very rare, as an actor, to be someplace - to have an address, so to speak.

I would love it if people could look at chubby folks with all of our curves, bumps and ridges and just say 'She's beautiful' just like that. You don't have to get on a treadmill as long as your blood pressure is under control and you eat healthy, God bless.

I would love to walk into a mall and see more than two or three stores that cater to women who are a size 14 and up!

We all have our down days, but it's not hard to smile and say thank you.

On the acting side, they actually tell us to lie about things that we don't know and later scramble to learn. "Do you ride horses?" "Yes, I do." I think scrambling is the death of most of us in the industry.

I know that there's people that have expectations of me, and I'm a people pleaser, so I want them to be happy.

You have to find a way to not become bitter and live within the parameters of the situation and laugh your way through it…and you hope for a better day for the next generation.
