| The way I see it, I can either cross the street, or I can keep waiting for another few years of green lights to go by. |
| People in this country haven't stopped hating fat people, but they've become more kind to me, since in our culture, even though we hate our fat people, we love our celebrities even more. |
| I hate overweight, because it implies that there's a weight standard I should be adhering to. |

| On The Practice, I get to do what I love to do, and I am making a contribution that will, in the end, help raise social consciousness, dispel some of the myths about being large, and change the way that people view and interact with large people. |
| The character I play is a wonderful compilation of things I hate about myself and things I love about myself and things that I've invented to make her even more interesting than me. |
| I was scared, because I knew that in the political arena, you have to satisfy so many different types of people at once, and I wasn't sure that I could speak for everybody and be politically correct. |
| Instead of hating, I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world. |
| I learned how to sign because when I was growing up in California in order to get into college you needed two semesters of language to get into a University of California school. |
| I think Ellenor is embarrassed and ashamed and has devoted all of her energy to the law and to helping other people get justice because it's too difficult for her to face her own struggle for justice. |
| I don't even like to be naked in front of myself! |
