The pressure on women to be thin is like a plague. I have gone through my life, like a lot of women, rating my experiences on the basis of, 'Was I thin at that time or fat?' And it doesn't seem to let up.

Felicity Huffman

When I was thin, I had no notion of what being fat is like. When I worked in a department store, I had sold clothes to women of most sizes, so I should have known; but perhaps you have to experience the state from the inside, to understand what fat is like.

Hilary Mantel

We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion that the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one!

Ronald Reagan

Rich cultures, patriarchal cultures, value thin women, like ours; poor ones value fat women. But all patriarchal cultures value weak women. So for women to become physically strong is very profound.

Gloria Steinem

I like fat girls. A woman can never be too poor or too fat. I'd take a poor fat girl over a rich thin girl like Kate Moss.

Sebastian Horsley

Real women are fat. And thin. And neither. And both. And otherwise.

Hanne Blank

I'm fat, but I'm thin inside. Has it ever struck you that there's a thin man inside every fat man, just as they say there's a statue inside every block of stone?

George Orwell

This is true; virtually all edible substances, and many automotive products, are now marketed as being low-fat or fat-free. Americans are obsessed with fat content.

Dave Barry

Statistically, skinny women die younger than fat women. Why? Because fat women are killing them.

Joy Behar

I like fat people more then I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people.

Lloyd Kaufman

I stay fat because it just wouldn't be fair to all the thin people if I were this good-looking, intelligent, funny, and thin. It's a public service really.

Rebel Wilson

I'm a chubby middle-aged white guy with short hair. I think that's it, really. I kind of have a look. Right now, I'm not fat enough to be the fat friend, but I'm not thin enough to be the leading man, so I look like a cop.

Aaron Douglas

Have you noticed that many jewels make women either incredibly fat or incredibly thin?

James M. Barrie

I'm not one of those women with a really thin body. I have body fat.

Jessica Alba

I like small books. I like durable books. I like plain books. I like small type and thin pages.

Jesse Ball

These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.

Karl Lagerfeld
