Chips. All day. Every day.

More women need to stick together.

With a doughnut in each hand, anything is possible.

What kind of woman tries to fat-shame a heavily pregnant woman?

Sometimes gluten is even added to chips, which is really annoying.

I'm not trying to prove myself, and I'm not trying to shock anyone.

School was horrific for me, constantly an outcast for being a geek.

Women's bodies have always been used as a spectacle and objectified.

I was a model scout. I was never a model, but they just dropped the scout.

Hopefully, no one will feel self-conscious in anything that I've designed.

A few years ago, I fell in love with a man before realising he was married.

I've been amazingly lucky, and believe me, I don't take anything for granted.

I knew it was right to make time for myself to have adventures and fulfil dreams.

Restaurants don't cater properly for celiac sufferers, and neither do supermarkets.

Surround yourself with people and things that inspire you. Learn everything you can.

I was 23 and saw my face on the side of the big T4 bus at V Festival and almost fainted.

At no point in my thirty years have I ever felt truly represented by the fashion industry.

Radio 1 has always championed women; take Annie Nightingale, for example. One of my heroes.

I didn't really have a group of friends 'till I was 19, and I didn't kiss anyone until I was 21.

As a young child, I suffered all sorts of digestive problems and was constantly under the weather.

If someone had told me age 14 to start making serious decisions about my career, I'd have laughed!

I had to learn to accept myself despite the fact that I was seriously underweight. I had to try and feel sexy.

I've had versions of disability my whole life, first with my hearing and then when I couldn't walk for over a year.

Britain's way of dealing with disability is just to try and pretend it's not happening. A swift sweep under the carpet.

I'm acting in a new show on NBC with Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, which is definitely the scariest thing I've ever done.

There shouldn't be a segregation of women over a size 16, it should just be all women who want to wear beautiful clothes.

The concept of plus-size is so derogatory and weird. What does that mean? Plus the normal size? It shouldn't exist any more.

If you have time to get your pet rabbit its own Instagram account, you have time to at least tweet about something important.

I became allergic to virtually all fruits and vegetables, and my weight tumbled. I am 5ft. 10in. but dropped to just 8 st. 7lbs.

It feels great to know that more people are finding work and gaining the experience, not to mention self-confidence, that they need.

One of the brilliant things I realised after I'd left school is that there are so many ways you can learn. I do this best on the job.

We are genuinely in a world that criticises women even when they are going through the biggest physical challenge of their life: pregnancy.

We really shouldn't be putting a label on size. Fashion is for all, and I think confidence and happiness is more important than dress labels.

Some people cheat because they want to, because they can, because it gives them a thrill, or because they just can't do long-term relationships.

I look back at my old school journals, and they're full of self-hatred, full of me condemning myself for not being prettier, richer, more popular.

I find it infuriating that in this industry, size 10 and above is defined as 'plus size,' especially when the average dress size in the U.K. is a 16.

Every twist and turn in life is an opportunity to learn something new about yourself, your interests, your talents, and how to set and then achieve goals.

A lot of the things that happened to me came out of the blue, but I'm exactly the same person now as I was when I was sick. I'm still a very optimistic person.

I am an Asian woman. I am a size 12 Asian woman. I have been a size 18 Asian woman. I have been a size 6 Asian woman. I have been a size 18 disabled Asian woman.

The doctor said, 'You have a lump on your breast'. Hearing those words was a reminder, a kick up the bum if you like, telling me that life is very unpredictable.

Some young people can rely on a privileged background and great connections to get work experience, but I don't believe anybody can be guaranteed success nowadays.

I think compassion is the only way to approach any subject, especially if it's to do with physical appearance. I don't think it's really about tearing something apart.

I wanted to be a part of telling women there is no segregation. There is no need to ever not feel beautiful or glamorous. There should be nothing that gets in your way.

My digestive system was so damaged that I became allergic to almost everything, including fruit and vegetables, and the only thing I could stomach was chicken and chips.

I like the fact that Tess Holliday is comfortable in her own skin and loves herself. I think that's a hugely positive message that women of all sizes really need to adopt.

For me, growing up felt like a roller coaster ride at times, but looking back, I don't think that it was such a bad thing. It was all part of the excitement of being young.

If you're in the public eye, you're constantly scrutinised. I was called too thin and then too fat when I was overweight. It's just a shame those are the reactions people have.

I essentially grew up listening to Radio 1, the chart show in particular. It was a routine, as for many young people. Every Sunday, I waited patiently to be told who was on top.

You see the music videos and the bling and the cars, but all of that goes home at the end of the shoot. They make nothing because there's less and less money in the music industry.

I was born partially deaf and suffered from labyrinthitis, which affected my balance. I had numerous ear infections and spent my childhood in and out of hospital having operations.
