| Quotes: |
It's so reductive to women when we're making great strides for diversity in the arts, but questions like that [regarding weight] just pull us backwards.
<br />
<hr>
Every time I'm asked about my body in an interview it makes me deeply uncomfortable and so sad I'm not just allowed to just talk about the job I do that I so love.
<br />
<hr>
I'm not a body-positivity activist, I'm an actor. I would lose or gain weight if an important role requirement. My body is the tool I use to tell stories, not what I define myself by. |
