[edit] Quotes

"I think it's discrimination (to ban underweight models). We are skinny, this is our work. There are lots of overweight people working in offices but I'm not going to say 'This girl is fat, she can't work in an office'", in response to a proposal to ban underweight models from Milan Fashion Week[3]
