“Casting plus size girls needs to be genuine.” — Tess Holliday Quote

“Casting plus size girls needs to be genuine.”

“You can start with daily affirmations of love to yourself, like, 'I am worthy,' 'I am beautiful,' and 'I am loved.'”

“I prefer waist-length or cropped motorcycle jackets because I'm petite.”

“A well known director wouldn't take the chance on casting me for an American role after he discovered that I was English. Some time later, he expressed his regret that he hadn't taken the chance with me.”

“It's always a good idea to go up for the male roles. You go up against a bunch of beefy guys, and the casting director then feels smart for taking you on, like he's the one who thought outside the box.”

“Going on stage seemed like an awful thing for me. But then, I went to a theater major in high school. I really loved it, but it was more of a hobby, not something like that. Then, a casting director approached me on Facebook, actually.”
