I hate overweight, because it implies that there's a weight standard I should be adhering to.

My parents have always been offended by my weight, embarrassed maybe. It didn't fit with their sensibilities.

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.

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.
