Allison Janney Quotes

Sometimes women who are taller aren't comfortable with it, but I love being tall.

I am proud of my height.

I used to write on my resume that I was shorter than I was because I thought it would inhibit my roles, and as soon as I embraced that I am a tall female, I started getting really fantastic roles and really didn't even worry about wearing heels.

It's very cool to be short, very cool. When I was in eighth grade, and the height I am now, I would just look at the cute little short girls and think, 'If only, if only.'

Being short works for me.

What can you do? You're never going to be - I'm sure there are people out there who think Cindy Crawford isn't pretty.

I have always been short, and most people want to be taller. That's sort of a thing, but I love being short.

I'm proud of my body. I feel strong in my body.

I remember when I was young, before we started lifting and working out, I looked like I was bench-pressing other humans. I looked different than other girls. I had to be OK with the fact that I had a strong physique, no matter if people looked at me in an accepting way or not.

I definitely feel confidence with more height!

I'm quite cool about my sex symbol image. It's nothing to be proud of or ashamed of.

Everyone has a butt. No matter what size it is, you can work it.

As a kid, I was a little self-conscious because I was so much taller than everyone. A bad habit of mine used to be slouching. Eventually, I realized my height was something I couldn't control, so I might as well accept it.

Your hair isn't quite right and maybe you're a size bigger than you should be and on and on and on. I think there comes a moment when you've matured to the point where you suddenly think, nonsense. I am fine just the way I am.

I go by my own standards, and I will be the voice of the curves for the women that feel like they can't stand up for themselves.
