waiting someday ifs
Waiting, waiting, waiting. All my life, I've been waiting for my life to begin, as if somehow my life was ahead of me, and that someday I would arrive at it.
venice crafts pockets
Street performers, homemade crafts, keep your wallet in your front pocket and don't buy any crap!
years rejection acting
Acting forces you to ask yourself, 'Can my constitution take a decade of constant rejection?' And after ten years, you either make it or you don't. And the problem is they don't tell you in advance.
acceptance self giving
Self-acceptance begets acceptance from others, which begets even deeper, more genuine self-acceptance. It can be done. But no one is going to bestow it on you. It is a gift only you can give yourself.
country hate people
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.
years years-ago size
Years ago women of my size were considered royalty.
new-york people community
One of the things I did when I was in New York, which has a wonderful deaf community, is I have worked on making Broadway more accessible to deaf people.

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.
hatred celebrity-status
Isn't it amazing how celebrity status preempts even the most ingrained hatreds?
grandmother reality play
In my fantasies, I always wanted to play the ingenue, but in reality, in my bones, I am so used to playing the grandmother that I don't feel safe or even sure that I can do it
people political arena
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.
stupid men self
It's okay to be a fat man. It's prestige and power and all of that. But fat women are seen as just lazy and stupid and having no self-control.
memories father arms
One of my earliest memories is of my father carrying me in one arm with a picket sign in the other.
love-you way and-love
You can either destroy your spirit or you can accept and love yourself just the way you are.
