Ashley Graham : (7) " When I’m traveling out of the country, a lot of guys give me a high five, and then they’re like, ‘I love your work!’ " - Ashley Graham " We need to work together to redefine the global image of beauty and continue to push for a more inclusive world. " - Ashley Graham " Does any woman really just come in and say, ‘I’m a plus-size woman?’ Maybe as a defense mechanism or maybe as a way to kind of cope with fitting into society but… I just think it’s divisive. " - Ashley Graham " I’ve had agents tell me, ‘You’re not gonna be on the cover of anything; you’re a catalog girl.’ I’ve had clients tell me, ‘You’re too fat, and we can’t book you any more because you don’t fit into the jeans.’ " - Ashley Graham " I think that no woman has to defend her body, and she should just live her truth. It should never be about the number size of her pants, and it should be about what you’re doing in the world. What does her brain look like and not her hip size. " - Ashley Graham " ‘Sexy’ is a state of mind, and it can come in all shapes and sizes. It is different for every person. " - Ashley Graham " I have been so blessed not only to talk about things that I want to talk about in my industry, but also to have a platform – and people want to hear about it. " - Ashley Graham
