Anorexia is an awful thing, but you get yourself into it, and only you can get yourself out of it.

Celia Imrie

Anorexia taught me to love life and to realise that starving yourself to death is a bloody waste of time. It's awful, and it hurts so many people around you. It's a terribly selfish thing to do.

Celia Imrie

Anorexia and bulimia seem to be getting much more common in boys, men, and women of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds; they are also becoming more common in racial groups previously thought to be impervious to the problem.

Tracey Gold

I always felt that anorexia was the form of breakdown most readily available to adolescent girls.

Kate Beckinsale

Women and eating disorders have such a long history, but now I see it happening to gay men. And when it comes to anorexia, bulimia, body dysmorphia, gay men are far worse than women. They take it way more seriously. "Why diet when you can take crystal meth?"

Margaret Cho

Today's fashion magazines may carry an article about the dangers of anorexia while bombarding its readers with images of emaciated young bodies representing the height of beauty and desirability.

Bell hooks

There was a time in the middle of my depression when I basically stopped eating. I wasn't doing it to lose weight or anything - I just forgot to eat. I got down to 145 pounds, which is pretty skinny. I'm 6'3". And then I read an article in a magazine by a doctor talking about his experiences with anorexia, and everything started to make sense - the aches in the joints, the headaches, the way my bones felt as if I could bend them with my hands. I started eating again. That was much better.

Chris Cornell

You can't look at Hollywood and blame it, you have to make up your own mind whether you want to be fit, or super skinny. You can't blame other people. It's your own choice and if you have children, it is up to the parent to educate your children so they are healthy and they don't go into a direction of anorexia or obesity. It is up to you as a parent, it is hard to feed children right. I deal with it on a daily basis; it is much harder to make sure they eat right.

Heidi Klum

Eve Ensler

Anorexia is a response to cultural images of the female body - waiflike, angular - that both capitulates to the ideal and also mocks it, strips away all the ancillary signs of sexuality, strips away breasts and hips and butt and leaves in their place a garish caricature, a cruel cartoon of flesh and bone.

Caroline Knapp

For the longest time, Indian women have been okay with being curvy. But I think the modern Indian woman needs to get toned. I don't endorse being thin. Anorexia and bulimia are a reality in India because everybody wants to be thin. (Bipasha Basu)

Many women who have anorexia put their hearts in a compromised situation.

Carre Otis

Anorexia was there for me before I got into modeling, but because of the arena and the demands, the disease really got out of control for me. It's like being an alcoholic and going and being a bartender.

Carre Otis

I don't understand anorexia; I'm too greedy to ever not eat... I just can't do it.

Keshia Knight Pulliam

I was anorexic in the 60s and 70s, although it wasn't called anorexia then. I thought people would be nicer to me if I looked very small and delicate, so food wasn't high on my agenda. But it is now.
