In my school days, everyone thought I'm too tall for a Chinese girl.
Usually, I get hired because I'm tall.
By the time I was 14, I was about six foot. I remember going into auditions, and they'd look at how tall I was and say, 'Well, you're taller than the lead actor, so there's no way we can cast you.'
I've acted with shorter heroes, and no one has objected.
One thing that we learned that we published on our blog post is that uniformly, men lie about their height by almost exactly two inches. So if you look at a plot of census bureau data on the distribution of men's heights in the U.S. and you plot men's heights on OKCupid, it is exactly shifted two inches to the left.
I've got 99 problems, and most of them are height-related.
I started modeling with a very negative part of me - I didn't really like myself or how I looked because I was very tall for a Japanese girl.
I didn't ask to be short. I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter.
Man, I'm 6 foot 8. I'm gonna be typecast. It's not like I'm gonna be the romantic lead, although that wouldn't be bad.
I don't think that your height affects how good of a spokesperson, how well you can be, how well you can communicate your ideas as a beauty queen or as a public figure.
I see the world from the perspective of a 5'8" person, not someone who is 6'4". so naturally, I'm going to choose certain lens heights over and again... Sometimes nature makes choices for you.
Being a 6-foot-tall tennis player is not great for a girl's social life.
People who are short, they're often portrayed as the victim.
I think when you're a tall girl, you feel a little bit like an outcast. You have to go to the back of the photo. You're taller than all the boys. I know I felt more like an outsider. And then as I got older, I just got used to it. I got like, 'I don't date under 6 feet.' That's my policy.
Standing out for being short is not actually a good thing as a model and it hasn't been a help.
I get comments all the time about my weight just because I'm really tiny.
I could never write a book where the point-of-view character was a short person, because I just can't imagine what that's like.
Everyone assumes that novelists are smarter and more interesting. They're generally smarter and more interesting, but they're often very short. So it kind of cancels all the smart and interesting stuff out.
Tall people have a real advantage in the world.
There's not a lot of short quarterbacks in the league, but I think there's more guys paving the way for the transition of not really caring about how big you are, how tall you are.
I've found that it's actually more of a disability to be tall than short. I have no problem fitting into plane toilets etc, and the adaptations made for wheelchair users - such as the lowering of bank machines - work for me as well.
Maybe it's because I'm short and blond, but people have really underestimated me.
What's so wonderful about being 6'3". What is this mythical edge tall men have over average and short men?
Height doesn't matter. You see guys like Tyrod Taylor, Brees, Russell Wilson: they've proven that it doesn't matter.
Short people got no reason to live.
