ashamed devoted difficult energy face helping people
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.
hate people culture
I have lived my life in a culture that hates fat people.
jobs careers people
I placed over a thousand deaf people in jobs throughout my career working for the deaf.
art people actors
I don't get it. I just don't get it. If Art is supposed to imitate Life, why do they want all the actors to be thin? There are fat people in the world. Shouldn't there be a few of us actors to represent them?
views practice people
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
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.
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.
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.
boys
When it comes to boys and her weight, I think Ellenor is much more conservative than I am, and she has not had the dialogue I have had about my weight.
grew political
I grew up with a very political legacy.
along came dreams feature films occurred
It never occurred to me that I'd be on a television show or in feature films but when those came into play my dreams changed along the way.
cross either few lights
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.
days script television three weekly
On a weekly television series, we don't have a lot of preparation time: most often we get the script two or three days before filming.
hate character play
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.
