My father is a big guy; he's had a quadruple bypass surgery, and that's scary. Those are real things that happen in families with overweight people, and I don't want that.
I just have to be very clear. Whether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it's purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren't attractive - because I think they're awesome and sexy.
People don't realize how much money you have to spend: styling, publicity, a manager, and your agent. That's a chunk of change.
I would say that when you do something out of the goodness of your heart, and you don't know what the repercussions will be, you have to live with that. And it can be devastating. Because the intention was there.
I taught preschool previously, so I was like, 'Oh, I can teach little kids to act, and I can go back home.'
I'm paving the road for other women and men who know they're destined for greatness, but they don't believe it yet.
