“From being on a panel show, they always need the blonde airhead sat in...” — Emily Atack Quote

“From being on a panel show, they always need the blonde airhead sat in a corner they can make fun of, and I'm here to go, 'No, we're not the punchline.'”

“Everyone is comparing lives on social media and wants the perfect body, perfect image, perfect outfit, perfect life - we're striving for this perfection, and it's so unhealthy because there's no such thing as perfection.”

“Fame can be a double-edged sword, and you have to take the bad with the good. The highs are incredibly high, and the lows can be incredibly low.”

“I was told I was fat in the modeling world, and a director on a shoot told me I needed to lose weight. The J-Lo booty wasn't popular then, and I wanted to be the perfect Hollywood girl - tall, blonde and skinny. I couldn't do the 'tall' because I was 5'2, and I couldn't do the skinny, either.”

“When I was younger I forced my dad - who was a hairstylist as well - to bleach my hair blonde, then even blonder, then I dyed it back to black two days later and it went green. I had to shave my head and it was the worst experience, but I learned a lot and I think it honestly made me a better hairdresser.”
