Valerie Azlynn Quotes

Seriously, in America there are more big, curvy girls than there are little girls, and men love us, too.

If you want someone who's big-boned and you like that, ain't nothing wrong with having a little extra meat on there. If you like them thin-boned, then that's okay, too.

I do find that as a curvy girl, as I guess I've sort of been deemed, I don't think you want to run your curves off, because then you're just not yourself.

I love curvy women. Maybe because I'm not. I would love to be a Marilyn Monroe, but I'm very far away from that... So I love very curvy girls.

Personally, I've always loved the curvy look.

I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick.

I'm curvy.

When I modeled, my name always came with a preface: 'the voluptuous Sophie Dahl.' I was the anti-waif, as round as a Rubens.

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.

I fall into that nebulous, quote-unquote, normal American woman size that legions of fashion stylists detest. For the record, I'm a size 8 - this week, anyway. Many stylists hate that size because I think to them, it shows that I lack the discipline to be an ascetic; or the confident, sassy abandon to be a total fatty hedonist.

My weight fluctuated when I was 30, and I did the unthinkable - I stepped out as a plus-sized model.

With 'America's Next Top Model,' I've always cast girls who the industry might call 'plus size' but I like to call 'fiercely real.' That was always important to me.

I'm embracing what I have. I'm a curvier bombshell with big boobs. I'm not high-fashion. I don't do runway. You won't see me at Fashion Week.

I've realized skinny isn't necessarily attractive. Guys like girls with curves.

Weight used to be an issue. I was always fat as a child. And everyone used to tell me, 'You've got such a pretty face; why don't you lose some weight?' Over the years I've realised that my body is a certain type, and I have learned to accept it.

Well, you know, I have always had an issue with the whole weight thing with people in general because I happen to love how big women look. I mean, it's all a perspective. It's all an opinion, and I think sort of the Rubenesque, voluptuous body is a lot sexier than the boney bag of bones with fake everything.

I'm a curvy girl, and I'm a real girl.

When you're a big girl like me, you want someone who makes you feel diminutive. I think fat guys are sexy.

Personally I think women look better with a bit of chub on them.

I get 'voluptuous' a lot, or 'shapely,' but the fact is that as you get older you learn to embrace your body type. I wasn't able to do that until I was at least 23.

Years ago women of my size were considered royalty.

I've never worn plus size brands, and I never had to because I found what worked for my body type. So my advice is to find what works for you.

It took me a while to accept that I'm not going to have the curves other girls get.
