" It wasn’t that I actually was fat or anything, it was just that I wasn’t supposed to be eating all that candy—it showed. It showed at the beach. It showed in “tight” skirts. It showed in gym. But I was never dumb enough to think I was Fat; because I wasn’t, I just wasn’t perfect. And I have never liked perfect things, they give me the creeps. "
