I'm Not Ashamed To Say That I

Salma And I Had Run Into Each Other Once Or Twice At Film Festivals Because I Was Doing The Press For Real Women Have Curves At The Same Time She Was Doing The Press For Frida. She Had Seen Real Women Have Curves, And When The Idea Of Ugly Betty Came Up, She Thought Of Me. Her Enthusiasm About The Project Was So Infectious-she Spoke Of It With Such Expectation. Everyone That Was Involved Was Really Excited About The Project. I Really Wanted To Be A Part Of It.

I Could Have Easily Been Too Afraid To Say 'yes' To Chicago, Because It Requires So Much I Haven't Done Before. If I Am A Flop At Singing And Dancing, Maybe My Love For It Will Carry Me Through.

Kids Not Only Understand [a Dark Story] But Appreciate It … Because In The Real World There's Fear, And Dark Things Happen No Matter How Young You Are. People Lose Parents, People Lose Friends … There's Darkness In The World. So I Think When Kids Are Talked To In That Way, They Appreciate It. They're Not Being Given Some Candy-coated, 'oh, This Is A World Where There Are No Stakes.' I Think That Actually Insults Their Intelligence.

I Know That Having The Perfect Body Doesn't Fix All Your Problems, Or Make You Love Yourself More. To Me, It's All About Being Comfortable In Your Own Skin.

I'm Okay If People Don't Know Who I Am, But If You Remember My Character That Would Be Great.
