Breaking the fourth wall with humor, this quote highlights the theatricality and vulnerability performers face. The speaker's candidness about body image and the humorous way they address a mishap reflect a self-accepting attitude. It emphasizes that imperfections and accidents can become part of the entertainment, encouraging audiences to embrace authenticity and find humor in it. Such candid moments remind us that performers, like everyone else, juggle insecurities but choose to face them with wit and resilience. It’s a celebration of self-acceptance, humor, and the human experience behind the glamour.

You go first.Go through the door before me.Enter the limousine while I wait by your side.Enter the shops while I stand behind, guarding your back.Sit at the table before me.Please, sample the tastiest morsels while I sit quietly.
