My Siblings Are My Best Friends.

Nowadays I'd Describe Myself As Earnest, Terribly Earnest. I'm The Person Who Wants Everybody In The Room To Feel Important And Happy.

I Think The Body Image Thing, Everybody Can Identify With That. In Our Culture There's Just So Much Pressure And So Much Attention Placed On The Way We Look. You Just Turn On The Tv Or Flip Open A Magazine And There's People Who Don't Look Like Any Of Us. I Think This Movie Is Like, Finally, A Celebration Of Reality And Of Our Imperfections. We're Not All A Size 2 And We're Not All A Size 0, And You Know What? That's Ok, Because Some Of Us Like To Eat!

It's So Reassuring To Have A Woman Heroine Who Triumphs With More Than Just What She Has On The Outside Who Has More To Offer The World Than Just A Pretty Picture.

Kids Not Only Understand [a Dark Story] But Appreciate It … Because In The Real World There's Fear, And Dark Things Happen No Matter How Young You Are. People Lose Parents, People Lose Friends … There's Darkness In The World. So I Think When Kids Are Talked To In That Way, They Appreciate It. They're Not Being Given Some Candy-coated, 'oh, This Is A World Where There Are No Stakes.' I Think That Actually Insults Their Intelligence.

What's So Kind Of Beautiful About The Whole Thing Was That Everything That Made Me Not Right For All Of Those Hundreds Of Commercial Auditions That I Went On And No One Ever Wanted Me For Is What Made Me Perfectly Right For 'real Women Have Curves'.
