In my work as an actress and an activist, I've spent many years working with low income communities and people of color who don't always have a voice in our political process.
People have this conception of plus size models as girls who aren't fit or don't work out or don't really take care of their bodies.
I don't think about those things, really. I work hard on everything I do. Everything is a struggle, everything is hard, everything is difficult.
I just work hard and do things as they come along. But it has been a challenge to learn that I have to say 'no' to things and to know how and what to prioritize.

I work on a laptop specifically so I can work in cafes and pretend I'm part of the human world.
The thing to remember is that the work comes first, and not to get distracted by anything else. If you keep focused on the work, everything else will fall into place. That's my mantra now.
The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.
The productivity now at universities is terrible. Tenure is a terrible idea. It keeps them around forever and they don't have to work hard.
