Its really hard to go out knowing that you are going to be the center of attention just about anywhere you go and that its not going to be in a positive way.
I'm not opposed to doing science fiction or comedy, but there has to be respect. I refuse to be the joke, the fat woman joke, in any movie. I've turned down roles.
...I will not be a sight gag for anybody. I will not do anything degrading to myself or other fat people.
