Tao Okamoto Quotes

I've got 99 problems, and most of them are height-related.

I used to hate being short.

I've never been particularly happy with what I see in the mirror - I don't think anybody ever is. And I'd like to be taller, too: I'm 5 ft. 9in.

I'm 5ft 1in and despise being small. People think I'm cute and cuddly, and I'm not.

I'm certainly really rather tall at 6 foot 3, and I've been this way since I was 14, but for years, women who are even 5 foot 10 have come up to me in the street and said, 'Oh, it's so nice to see a woman who is taller than me. I've always felt like a giant.'

I was always very, very insecure about my height. Even as a 15-year-old I was a foot and a half taller than everyone.

No 11-year-old girl wants to be 5-10. I always felt big and unattractive.

I didn't ask to be short. I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter.

I'm not that good looking.

I just don't like my face.

I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling.

I'm never satisfied with the way I look.

I'm not going to lie: I still have days when I walk by the mirror on my way to the shower and think, 'Oh God, I didn't just see that!'

I am not too keen on my nose, I don't like my knees, I hate my ankles, I am unsure about my behind, I don't like my legs at all. I am not too sure about my chin, my forehead is a bit dodgy. But, overall, I can live with it.

I don't like my physique. Who does?

We have no faith in ourselves. I have never met a woman who, deep down in her core, really believes she has great legs. And if she suspects that she might have great legs, then she's convinced that she has a shrill voice and no neck.

Even though I'm in the industry and I act and all this stuff, I still suffer from self-esteem issues... from the way that I look or the way that I talk... just nitpicking at myself.

I always doubted myself. I doubted the way I looked, my body, my voice - everything.

I never thought that I'd be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom.

I don't like the sound of my voice or how I look or anything.

I was always told I was ugly. I still think I am ugly. I know I've got an odd face and you can't tell me otherwise.

I have a fat head - I get freaked-out looking at pictures of me.

I hate talking about my height, because I don't feel like a tall person... When I see a tall woman, I'm always slightly like, 'Whoa.' It looks weird, but that could be because of my complex about it, my worry over whether it's womanly to be that tall.

I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model.

But as a young model, I never felt as beautiful as I looked.
