“I've battled my weight since I was 13. I'll be battling it for the rest of my life.”

“As a Southerner, I think it's ridiculous to be thin. You can't be a good cook if you're thin.”

“I've been on a diet for 20 years. I've lost a total of 789 pounds. By all accounts, I should be a 2-pound scrunched-up thing. But I'm not.”

“You can have it all, but you can't have it all at once.”

“Being a beauty queen is just a title, and it's not you.”

“It was the first time I had ever been in a beauty pageant. I was 17, and it was a really weird experience.”

“Hollywood can be a very cruel place. You have to have a thick skin to survive.”
