Society has a hyper emphasis on thin, and that trend comes from the consumers – it does not come from the fashion industry. The fashion industry needs to make money; that’s what we do. If people said, ‘We want a 300 pound purple person,’ the first industry to do it would be fashion.
I definitely gain weight, and I’m not naturally thin.
I love Cillian Murphy’s character in ‘Peaky Blinders’ and Tom Hardy’s in ‘Taboo’ – theses are characters that, as audience members, we follow along with and root for. But our own morality is tested throughout that journey, because these characters ride a thin line between morality and amorality.

I feel badly for those girls who have to be so waif thin, doing those catwalks all the time because, luckily, we’re going into a different time – that’s what they’re saying, at least – in we’re appreciating a curvier figure. But to be honest, I couldn’t be like an hourglass if I tried.
You go to a show, and there’s no food at all, so if you’re doing shows back to back, you can forget eating. I remember standing up in the bath one day, and there was a mirror in front of me, and I was so thin! I hated it. I never liked being that skinny.

I was thin and didn’t realize how small I was – I was, like, 96 pounds when I got signed. You don’t want to be 96 pounds. It’s not attractive. I didn’t know how to do my hair and makeup. I was such a tomboy.
I wasn’t born thin. I train. But I would never starve myself. I mean, what is happening with women these days? I just couldn’t see myself looking that thin. I like a bit of waist and leg.
