Ashley Graham Quotes

You can be fat and still be sexy . It all depends on how you feel about yourself

I have a figure, and there aren't many girls out there right now who have that.

Growing up, I felt insecure about my build. I didn't feel very feminine. But as time went on, I learned to completely embrace my body.

Just because people are calling you skinny doesn't mean I'm like, 'Yay!' No! You're telling me I don't look right. This is me, this is my body - I have accepted it.

I never thought I was pretty enough. I was kind of tall and lanky. I don't mind it now, but back in the day I hated it. I would tell myself that what I think is ugly at 17 is actually what's going to be pretty about me later.

It doesn't matter: any weight, shape or form or however your body is, you want to be proud of it.

My eyes are too small, and they're too close together, and I have a pointy nose. But who cares? Who cares?!

I make a point to never, ever point out my physical flaws... this is advice I give to women as often as I can. People don't notice the things we see in ourselves that we hate, so why direct them to it?

In all honesty, I don't really know how to feel sexy.

I'm very uncomfortable about the way I look but confident as a man.

Everyone has a different body shape, so you kind of have to figure out not only what works best for your body type, but what also makes you feel confident.

I am not too keen on my nose, I don't like my knees, I hate my ankles, I am unsure about my behind, I don't like my legs at all. I am not too sure about my chin, my forehead is a bit dodgy. But, overall, I can live with it.

I'm not ashamed of what I am and that I have curves and that I'm thick. I like my body.

For the most part, yeah, I'm happy with my body, but there are days when I'm like, 'Ugh! Really? Why is it so hard to fit into my jeans?' That's when I say to myself, 'I look this way because I'm supposed to. If we all looked the same, we'd be boring.'

I wasn't attractive when I was growing up, and I don't think I am now.

I certainly used to wish that I was skinny, lighter-skinned, with long, pretty hair. But only because I used to get made fun of for being the absolute opposite.

I just feel like growing up in Los Angeles, you learn, 'Well you're never gonna be the prettiest girl in the room, so just don't even try.' I mean, I care about being pretty, but it's not my most valued thing.
