Anorexia is a real disease. The choice you do have is asking for help.
I think anorexia is a metaphor. It is a young woman's statement that she will become what the culture asks of its women, which is that they be thin and nonthreatening. Anorexia signifies that a young woman is so delicate that, like the women of China with their tiny broken feet, she needs a man to shelter and protect her from a world she cannot handle. Anorexic women signal with their bodies "I will take up only a small amount of space. I won't get in the way." They signal "I won't be intimidating or threatening."

People still think of AIDS as a shame-based disease, it's a sexually transmitted disease, and you're either gay or you're a prostitute or an intravenous drug user.

I always felt that anorexia was the form of breakdown most readily available to adolescent girls.
I am very much a perfectionist, so if I were to turn heel, I'd want to be the nastiest girls out there, where the people hated me.
I love to work on a set whether it's mostly men or mostly women, but there's something about being in a community of women that changes the energy.
I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.
