Body image Quote by Danielle Tabor
“I think subconsciously you wanted to "fit in" to the TV and film world and unfortunately that meant being petite and skinny. The camera does add 10 pounds. It does affect your idea of normal. Essentially, though, my body-image issues weren't down to the industry alone. These were ideas I had from little events along the way of life.”

![“I get a lot of flak for it... people saying [my body] is not normal for a girl... But I'm okay with it. I think it's because I was a gymnast for eight years, from ages four to 12. My body was made before my bones were fully grown. Gymnasts are short, stocky, muscular powerhouses.” quote by Pink](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e11/pink-2472_age_i-get-a-lot-of-flak-for-it-people-saying_54922.jpg)
