The fit is my main focus, I want the fit to be great and that's the focal point for me.

True love is about being able to accept raw emotions, no matter how difficult.

My size has helped make me an amazing performer too. The cliche of the Funny Fat Friend: I absolutely was that character - I am that character... It's a complicated bag of tools I acquired, and I've put them all to work onstage.

Image
I'm a feminist, of course, and I feel as if I'm very politically correct, although I do question what's PC and what's not - I don't just accept what I'm told.

When you get a certain amount of media attention, I think people are like, Where's your other album?

We have to stop this idea that we have to be a certain shape.

I hate to do what I'm told, that's why I'm not good at 9-to-5s.

I've had people ask me in interviews what it's like to have money, but that's not how it is. I have a middle-class life. I have a room in London but not a house, nor a BMW.

It's funny how something so normal and mundane that you see every day-your body-can be controversial. The shock value is intense. It's like carrying an art piece around with you all the time.

I'm a great believer in karma and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me.

When I was a teenager I would lock myself in the bathroom for hours, bouffanting my hair like Patty Duke and trying to recreate Barbra Streisand's flawless eyeliner, only to comb it all out and wash it all off before stepping out into the world a butchish bisexual teen.

I want to make the IKEA of clothes for fat girls and boys. Cheap, affordable, basic - but ethically made. Basics, you know? Like Spanx - I'm still confused as to why retailers haven't ripped them off yet and done it well. It's because they don't understand the basics behind it. I love Spanx. I'm wearing 'em right now!

I believe I owe all the best parts of my adulthood to embracing my imperfections and showcasing them.

I feel dance and pop music genres are extremely female and extremely gay. When it comes to art and pop culture, queers are f - king weirdos. We don't have gender rules that tell us what we can and can't be. We just make it up as we go along. We have full creative license to be whatever we want to be.

I find inspiration everywhere. I love challenges and my favorite thing is to find something ridiculous and be like if it's all that I have available to me, I am gonna make it look the best that I can.

I have a very good relationship with myself. My favourite quote is, What you think about me is none of my business.
Beth Ditto
Image
I have no control over what people think of me but I have 100% control of what I think of myself, and that is so important. And not just about your body, but so many ways of confidence. You're constantly learning how to be confident, aren't you?

Sometimes love can mean letting go and loving each other from a distance. Maybe that's what you're feeling?

Growing up as a chubby kid with a ton of imaginary friends and a Cyndi Lauper obsession, I learned about rejection early on and was constantly trying to avoid it.
