I do have height envy. I'm 5'1 and my sisters are giants so I do have height envy.
In my school days, everyone thought I'm too tall for a Chinese girl.
By the time I was 14, I was about six foot. I remember going into auditions, and they'd look at how tall I was and say, 'Well, you're taller than the lead actor, so there's no way we can cast you.'
I've got 99 problems, and most of them are height-related.
I can understand why people laugh and make jokes, but I'm comfortable with being this tall. It's not as if I've had a sudden growth spurt. I've always been like this, so I get used to the constant height references.
I've acted with shorter heroes, and no one has objected.
I started modeling with a very negative part of me - I didn't really like myself or how I looked because I was very tall for a Japanese girl.
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 six foot two. If I need security around me, there's a problem.
Man, I'm 6 foot 8. I'm gonna be typecast. It's not like I'm gonna be the romantic lead, although that wouldn't be bad.
Being a 6-foot-tall tennis player is not great for a girl's social life.
I used to hate being short.
People who are short, they're often portrayed as the victim.
It's tricky territory, height and co-stars. The only thing I can say is that it's never been an issue in my life.
I think when you're a tall girl, you feel a little bit like an outcast. You have to go to the back of the photo. You're taller than all the boys. I know I felt more like an outsider. And then as I got older, I just got used to it. I got like, 'I don't date under 6 feet.' That's my policy.
Standing out for being short is not actually a good thing as a model and it hasn't been a help.
Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people... the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life... they are mean and they want to kill you.
Tall people have a real advantage in the world.
What's so wonderful about being 6'3". What is this mythical edge tall men have over average and short men?
Height doesn't matter. You see guys like Tyrod Taylor, Brees, Russell Wilson: they've proven that it doesn't matter.
I feel sorry for short people, you know. When it rains, they're the last to know.
I'm a tall woman. At work, that means a lot of my co-stars have to stand next to me on apple crates. But apparently, my height bodes well in the fashion world.
It's a well-known fact that tall people are evil.
I think most five-foot-two people would be quite offended if they were to be called dwarves.
Being tall has a major impact in general. It takes some courage to be as big as you are - to live up to it and not be intimidated by the graceful tiny people.
