“Weight is an intensely personal, sensitive and often tricky issue for women and it is something women talk about a lot among themselves, usually with empathy and support.”

“No woman likes to be told her own weight is a problem and most women don't really like men telling other women that their weight is a problem either.”

“Every man who has a sister, mother, wife, girlfriend or even a random female in their life who they've spent more than three minutes with knows that telling a woman they've gained weight is just never going to go down well.”

“With every character, the first thing I want to feel is empathy.”

“Other species help children develop empathy.”

“I think as you get older, there are things that there's just no light side to, but you know, I guess the more you empathise with people, the more empathy you have, the less you are able to see the lighter side.”
