Famous Quotes & Sayings

Alanis Morissette

As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.

Kristen Johnston

Richard Flanagan

I hate the way my life has been inexplicably overwhelmed by questionnaires. Life is so much stranger and so much more beautiful than the lists that reduce it to an anorexic assembly of tics and obsessions.

Rachel Cusk

The anorexic is out to prove how little she needs, how little she can survive on; she is out, in a sense, to discredit her nurturers, while at the same time making a public crisis out of her need for nurture. Such vulnerability and such power: it brings the whole female machinery to a halt.

Honeysuckle Weeks

I used to run ten miles every other day and eat very little. I was living in London on my own for the first time and no one was checking on me. I wasn't anorexic but lost three stone. I weighed around seven. It lasted six months until I ran out of willpower.

Felicity Huffman

I was bulimic and anorexic for a while, just hating my body. As an actress, I was never thin enough, never pretty enough. My boobs weren't big enough.

Meghan Trainor

Shannon Bahrke

I was this skinny, ugly, anorexic thing. It was awful. It was so bad.

Its like the old economic theory about money ? bad gossip, it seems, drives out good gossip. We get every detail of the dress that the latest anorexic bombshell on the red carpet is wearing. We know entirely too much about these people.

Marina and the Diamonds

I am very curvy, so the vintage stores suit me better than most designers. I just can't seem to give up crisps, or make my boobs shrink for that matter. Alas, I will never fit a size zero.

M. Wolfe

I have a feeling that most of the actresses on the red carpet will follow the usual pattern of strapless column slinky dresses that show off their bodies. The new emphasis will be the back instead of the boobs -- but that doesn't mean there won't be plenty of implants.

Sarah Shahi

You can get a man's attention if you got a pair of boobs and a butt. I hate to simplify them down so much, but I think it's true.

Alan Simpson

In your country club, your church and business, about 15 percent of the people are screwballs, lightweights and boobs and you would not want those people unrepresented in Congress

Frank Ogden

Carol Leifer

I think what I would say to my younger self, and probably to younger, just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you're just afraid to put yourself out there, and it's uncomfortable because it's working up the courage to do something, to push yourself to do those things.

Carol Shields

Words are our life. We are human because we use language. So I think we are less human when we use less language.

Carol Shields

Bookish people, who are often maladroit people, persist in thinking they can master any subtlety so long as it's been shaped into acceptable expository prose.

Carol Moseley Braun

Carol Moseley Braun

I think its time to get a reapportionment process that frankly takes out the incumbency protection and the raw politics of the process.

Carol Moseley Braun

And frankly, being a woman I think gives me a slightly different take on a lot of the issues and on a lot of the solutions to the problems we face.

Carol Moseley Braun
