CHRISTINA RICCI on being sexual in front of the camera

On being just five feet tall: “Because I’m small, a lot of what I call ‘theoretical clothing’—high-concept, architectural stuff—doesn’t work on me.�

On being sexual in front of the camera: “I’m totally comfortable being raw and emotional in front of people. Being sexual is harder.�

On being a bad girl: “You can be a bad girl and still be a nice person. Who says the two are mutually exclusive?�

On facing her eating disorder through therapy: “Once I could understand that what I saw in the mirror was not real, I was able to start eating.�
On then gaining weight in the public eye: “I spent my late teens being this…chubby young lady. That was almost more traumatizing than the anorexia.�
