A Quote by Natasha Rothwell

As far as being a plus-size woman, I play a plus-size character by default, and for me, the visibility - that, I think, is key.

Most of the brands that have used me don't say I'm "plus-size" - and there are other plus-size girls doing really well. But there is still a gap in "normal size" girls being represented. There are so many size 8 girls in shape; they look hot, but there is a lack of diversity for them. At the moment there's an extreme on both size sides. But it's changing, and that can only be seen as positive.

The term 'plus size' is so inaccurate. I'm not plus size; I have never bought an article of clothing that was plus size.

Barbie Ferreira

I don't understand why it's not okay to be plus-size. I don't know why people hate that phrase. Many models have built their careers as plus-size women and then suddenly don't want to be called that anymore. But you're still cashing checks from plus-size designers.

Tess Holliday

I'm so grateful that I model at a time where 'plus-size' models are being championed, but they're still called 'plus-size' which is actually quite a stigma in itself. It's just healthy, curvy women.

Daisy Lowe

At the end of the day, it just means 'curvy.' That's why I think the word 'plus-size' in the industry is very different from people's mind view of what 'plus-size' really should mean.

Hayley Hasselhoff

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

Jameela Jamil

Plus-size girls can look to the Plus-Size Fashion Weekends and feel like it's special - it's something for them and for their bodies.

Hayley Hasselhoff

I'm representing for the plus-size community and the plus-size industry. It feels amazing to be able to be the voice that we need.

Ashley Nell Tipton

Being a plus-size actress, it is slim pickings, so anytime any role comes up for a plus-size actress, my agents are all over it, and they were like, 'You have to book this job. It's 'American Horror Story.' It's a big deal.' No pressure, right?

Chrissy Metz

I wonder why it has taken such a long time in our country to understand or look at the potential of plus-size models. So what if they are plus-size, they are confident and have equal enthusiasm for life.

Zareen Khan

Straight sized boards are models size 0-6. Plus size boards are models starting at a 10. If a size 8 girl was 5' 11 and curvy, she'd be on the plus sized board, because there's nothing in between.

Hayley Hasselhoff

I think the labels 'Plus Size' and 'Curvy' should be banned. You don't say 'White model' or Skinny model.' Why should 'Plus Size' models have a label.

Daisy Lowe

Sierra' is me being a plus-size woman.

Shannon Purser

The fashion industry may persist to label me as 'plus-size,' but I like to think of it as 'my size.'

Ashley Graham

We're fit, we're healthy, we eat right, we work out. 'Plus size model' does not mean that we're not healthy. Plus size is not glamourising obesity: it's about empowering. The message behind the fashion is feeling confident in whatever you're wearing.

Hayley Hasselhoff

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.
