When I was 17, I was about 5'6''.
I've always been a late bloomer. My body developed late. From ninth to 10th grade, I grew like 3 inches. Just kind of stretched out. I was like 6-1, grew to 6-4 in 10th grade.
You can't have a physical transformation until you have a spiritual transformation.
I was 5'3' when I was 15, but suddenly shot up to over 6 feet by the time I turned 18 and it was clear that an NBA career was up for grabs.
I could never focus on my upper body as a skater, so I'm enjoying having symmetrical upper and lower body muscle.
I had no clue they would fall into my armpits eventually.
Who knows what the human body would expand and flow out to under a more genial heaven?
I actually gained 30 pounds [for the episode], and I haven't lost all of it yet so I haven't been like "I gained 30 pounds!" Because I don't know if people can tell the difference.
I've got a waistline to develop.
I worried I was a boyish shape. I always thought I might grow some, but it never happened.
I have a photograph of myself when I was 2 years of age, and I don't recognize the person in the photograph. She doesn't look anything like me, and I can't find any trace of her in me physically. And yet I remember her very, very well - even her anxiety.
A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.
What did I do in high school? I grew from 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 2 inches.
I've had to gain weight for roles and ugly myself up for roles. So yeah, I'm game. I'm game for that kind of thing. I'm certainly not too vain in that respect. If it's a great role, I'm willing to do whatever it is that it takes.
I did not have implants, I just had a growth spurt.
I do still get shocked every once in a while when I catch my reflection when I'm walking past a glass building, but it's in my mind about getting older and finding out what I'm going to look like as it unfolds - or as it folds, depending on where the marks and scars land.
There is nothing like a doorbell to precipitate the potential into the kinetic.
I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.
I remember putting mascara on when I was 13 for the first time and going to the shop to buy a chocolate bar. I felt so exposed. I remember wearing a bra for the first time and feeling very exposed by that.
I was 5-foot-8 when I graduated high school, but then I shot up to 6-foot-4 and got more into playing basketball.
When she bleeds the smells I know change colour. There is iron in her soul on those days. She smells like a gun.
If I put on a few pounds, it goes straight to my butt.
I don't believe I throw quite the same as before I was injured.
When I look in the mirror, I see the ageing process at full pelt, the hairline in retreat, the bags under the eyes growing and darkening, that kind of thing. I suppose it would be easier if I weren't an actor, but I am fairly philosophical about it.
It was a question I got asked often from my friends when they heard I had entered Miss S.A. - 'will you get a weave?' I always said I haven't changed myself before so why should I now change for a competition?
