From 12-year-old girls to 70-year-old matriarchs, I know hundreds of women who have some sort of body image issue. This is sad and seriously worrying, but it's true, and it's why I feel some kind of...

Just because I don't show six-pack abs doesn't mean that I don't have them.

As far as being a plus-size woman, I play a plus-size character by default, and for me, the visibility - that, I think, is key.

You can be fat and love yourself. You can be fat and have a great damn personality. You can be fat and sew your own clothes. But you can't be fat and healthy.

Having to look a certain way, or be a certain weight, comes from magazines, movies, the media.

I don't think just being skinny means necessarily anorexic.

The female body is awesome.

I love how I look. My favorite body part is my butt because that's where we get all our power from, and that's what keeps me going up and down the field and drives my explosiveness. I kind of have a...

It's normal to gain weight during pregnancy. It's something that has to happen to your body.

I'm not a pin-up, thankfully. I'm not suggesting I feel unconfident. I am beautiful to my husband. I am beautiful to my friends. I feel sexy and all those things with the people I love.

I don't consider myself sexy. I'm kind of a nervous person in general. I'm socially awkward. I'm not tall and sensuous. I usually wear sweats everywhere I go. Oh, and I burp a lot.

When I look back now, when I look at the insecurities of girls that weren't active, I never had those worries, I never had the worry of getting changed in the changing room and not liking my body,...

If your body produces testosterone naturally, fine. Mine doesn't.

I'm all for making ourselves look good - as long as we feel good, too. Feeling under pressure to look the same means we've gone too far.

I started thinking: 'Okay, what's wrong with wearing a bikini? I look better than I looked in quite a few years, so why not? What am I afraid of?

I'm sorry, I just don't want to be a part of this conspiracy to make women feel pressured about their bodies.

You only hear the horror stories - that after a baby, you never get your body back - but it's not true; it depends on your life beforehand.

Anytime I don't have to wear a bra is a good day.

I've never been a waif; I have a womanly figure and always did.

Personally I think women look better with a bit of chub on them.

When I was, like, 5 years old, I used to pray to have light skin because I would always hear how pretty that little light skin girl was, or I would hear I was pretty to be dark skin. It wasn't until I...

I've got quite an old-fashioned figure. Back in the Sixties, girls had boobs, a tummy and wide hips, and bigger thighs as well. I think that's sexy - to me, that's what a woman looks like. I've got...

It's unbelievable to me that someone can go on someone's photo and comment on their weight. It's not healthy for anyone.

I'm done with trying to be perfect. A perfect body belongs to somebody else - and it's not me.

And as a woman on television, I actually feel like you're more representative of women if you're - if you've got curves and if everything isn't super tight.

I wear a size 16 shoe, which isn't too bad. I can't usually go into a store and buy them, but there are catalogs throughout the country for big and tall people that I can order from.

There have been times where I have been playing a 16-year-old, and people have been like, 'She still looks 12.' I'm like, 'I'm 22. What do you mean I don't look 16?' So I'm comfortable just rocking my...

I love curvy women. Maybe because I'm not. I would love to be a Marilyn Monroe, but I'm very far away from that... So I love very curvy girls.

I have pessimistic moments when I think I should go on a diet because people are paying money to see movies with exceptional-looking actresses. But being in college has helped me realize that the best...

For most people who are transitioning, surgery isn't really a financial reality. So to place these goals of 'in order to be happy with my body, I must do this thing' is really damaging to yourself.
