It’s very limited what women who look like me can do on television. You don’t often see ‘my type’ on television unless she’s a sidekick – certainly not a three-dimensional series regular who is pertinent to the plot. Donna Lynne Champlin Read Quote
With shows with plus-sized characters, there are all of these lines of being jealous at so and so or mad at so and so for being skinny and their great diets. It’s so all-encompassing and exhausting. I’m not saying that’s not some women, but it’s just not all of us. Donna Lynne Champlin Read Quote
