At all times, there's discussion about the percentage of body fat I have, how I look on the ice and about how much skin a certain costume is showing.
I was a dancer, but I was always a little overweight. I'd say, 'Hello, I'm Valerie Harper, and I'm overweight.' I'd say it quickly before they could... I always got called chubby. My nose was too wide; my hair was too kinky.
The difference between Namath and me is that when you make the money he makes, they say you're ruggedly handsome. When you make the money I make, they say you have a big nose. (On resembling Joe Namath)
Elizabeth Taylor has more chins than the Chinese telephone directory.
I famously had a huge television producer say to me one time, 'Can you please stop doing that to your face? It's very distracting and unattractive.' And I was like, 'You mean move it? Okay, sorry, I guess we're not going to work together.'
Designers and advertisers like the idea of my breasts, waist line, long legs, and long neck - but have literally made gagging noises at my facial features.
Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale.

I was a soccer player, but everyone said I was too physical so I moved over to football.
For God's sake, Marks, do you think anyone really wants a glance at those dried-up matchsticks you call legs?
I don't really read the reviews, but I remember one a long time ago I read that said that I had a face like a potato.
A New York casting director, who shall remain nameless, once said to me, 'Marcia, you have what I call the flaring-nostril look, and until you get something done about it, you will never, ever work.'
Someone - a man - advised me not to become a news anchor because my eyelashes were too long, and they would distract the viewers.
I was always hearing that I was pale and thin and small.
You wouldn't believe how many people have told me that I need to fix my teeth or that I need to restructure my jawline.
The President [Grover Cleveland] has a big belly. His brains are not proportioned to it.
My biggest downfall is my inner voice. Growing up as a dancer makes you very judgemental with yourself. You learn to look at yourself in the mirror and you criticise every line in your body. It's never perfect. I grew up with this because I had ballet every day in school.
