Quotes

America: (on her feelings when her father abandoned her family while she was a child) It wasn't easy, but as a kid you find ways to make sense of it. It wasn't until I was older that I thought, 'Damn, I never really grieved over that'. And there have been male figures in my life who provided that kind of fatherhood role for longer than he was ever in my life. (edit)
America: It's so reassuring to have a woman heroine who triumphs with more than just what she has on the outside... who has more to offer the world than just a pretty picture. To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world. (edit)
America: I think it's hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy. Come on. They're not curvy. They're small. I'm curvy. (edit)
America Ferrera: I read Cliffs Notes when I was in school. I recently went back and read A Farewell to Arms and Steppenwolf, just to get the education that I paid for. (edit)
America: Honestly, even if I wanted to be anorexic, I just don't have what it takes. After four hours of being anorexic, I'd be like, "It's been four whole hours! Feed me!" (edit)
