I don’t have time to sit down and airbush my lumps and bumps. I don’t want to either, because they’re all a part of my life and what I’ve been through and who I am.
I’m a human, we’re going to go through hard times and hard periods of our life, it’s not going to be an easy ride all the time. That’s what we forget. On social media, it seems that way that living are living these idyllic lives and it’s not. There’s going to be bumps in the road, that’s life.
I would love it if people could look at chubby folks with all of our curves, bumps and ridges and just say ‘She’s beautiful’ just like that. You don’t have to get on a treadmill as long as your blood pressure is under control and you eat healthy, God bless.
Candidly, I’ve noticed that throughout my career, whether in offices that are majority male or majority female, the men are quick to advocate for themselves for a higher starting salary or more pay bumps over time.
Whenever I go to have a meeting at Universal, the security guard just leaps to his feet and comes over, bumps my hand, and says, ‘Thank you! Thank you – I love your films!’
Basketball players want contact to get a foul called. Slaps on the wrist and bumps on the shoulder are big time to them, and they don’t like that. In football, you get that all the time. The whole mental makeup is different.
I remember the first time I played the triple-A Yankees when I was 20 years old, and Darryl Strawberry was on that team. It was the first time I actually got goose bumps playing against another team.
I prefer 100 per cent cotton Ts. They are kinder to lumps and bumps than figure-hugging stretchy Lycra ones and feel nicer against the skin. Extra-long-sleeved T-shirts are a lifesaver for me. I wear them either underneath a shirt with the sleeve pulled out of the cuff, or underneath gypsy tops, tunic tops and waistcoats.
I would say, hand on heart, I probably had a very good relationship with the press. The tennis journalists that followed me throughout my career… sure, you know, we had a few bumps in the road, if you like, but that’s what you’re paid to do.
Even in ‘The Red Shoes,’ a film that nobody ever has complaints about, there are enormous continuity bumps, and it doesn’t matter. You know why? Because you’re being carried along by the power of the film.
When you grow up on the other side of the tracks, you’re used to taking a few bumps.
My dad has kind of been the standard for me, he played 16 years in the league, and since I’ve been in the league, every year that I go through and deal with the scratches, the bumps and bruises, just the grind that it is to go through one NBA season.
The whole process of being one of the 10 finalists for the ‘Vogue’ Fashion Fund award has to be my biggest achievement to date. Meeting Anna Wintour, Diane von Furstenberg, etc., has been an amazing experience that even now gives me goose bumps when I think about it.
Filming is long – you get very tired, and your skin breaks out and you get lumps and bumps. It’s easier if you’re allowed to have bags under your eyes.
When it’s silent or when that energy of the audience isn’t there, you feel the bumps a little more. You feel yourself losing breath a little quicker.
I hate having my feet touching stuff. And I’ve been finding people that have the same thing. It’s not a phobia; it just gives me goose bumps.
I was silent as a child, and silenced as a young woman; I am taking my lumps and bumps for being a big mouth, now, but usually from those whose opinion I don’t respect.
