Adele
“I think no matter what you look like, the key is to first of all be happy with yourself. And then you know if you want to try to improve things that you don’t like about yourself, then do it after you appreciate yourself.”
Jennifer Love Hewitt
“To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini—put it on and stay strong.”
Amy Adams
“Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body—meaning that it wasn’t put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. I was like, ‘Look, I can carry a baby! I’m gaining weight right, everything’s going well.’ And I’ve had that relationship ever since.”
Gabourey Sidibe
“One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body… I got tired of feeling bad all the time.”
Tyra Banks
“Girls of all kinds can be beautiful—from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain-skinned; the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between. It’s not easy though because many people still put beauty into a confining, narrow box… think outside of the box… pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you.”
Rashida Jones
“You can’t really invest in your looks as the only thing because it’s a depreciating asset. It’s like putting money into a stock that’s going down.”
Christina Aguilera
“I think that whatever size or shape body you have, it’s important to embrace it and get down! The female body is something that’s so beautiful. I wish women would be proud of their bodies and not diss other women for being proud of theirs!”
America Ferrera
“Take your time and your talent and figure out what you have to contribute to this world. And get over what the hell your butt looks like in those jeans!”
Kelly Clarkson
“Whether I put on weight or take it off, someone’s got something to say, so what I’ve figured is this: As long as I’m healthy and happy, cool. I’m just me — take it or leave it. And personally, I think I’m looking good!”
Lupita Nyong’o
“Being called gorgeous is not a bad thing! But at the same time, I don’t want to thrive on people’s opinions of me.”
Beyoncé
“The most alluring thing a woman can have is confidence.”
Melissa McCarthy
“Pretty much everyone I know, no matter what size, is trying some system. Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she’s like, ‘I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.’ Where does it end? You just have to say, ‘It’s pretty damn good. I am right here at the moment and I’m OK with it. I’ve got other things to think about.'”
Emma Stone
“We’re always too skinny or too fat or too tall or too short. We’re shaming each other and we’re shaming ourselves, and it sucks.”
Fergie
“I have learned more and more to enjoy my body when I have a few extra pounds on, just being more voluptuous. I say, focus on the body part that you feel most comfortable about.”
Khloe Kardashian
“I don’t think you should criticize someone’s body no matter what. My weight doesn’t define who I am.”
