Quote #159363
I thought, well, you might see curves there, but that’s just a bone - so even if I lose weight that’s not going to change anything. That’s how I look. That’s my shape. Do the math.

Interpretation
In this remark, Hendricks pushes back against the idea that her figure is primarily a matter of weight that could be “fixed” through dieting. By pointing to “a bone” and telling the listener to “do the math,” she frames body shape as largely structural—skeletal and proportional—rather than purely the result of body fat. The quote functions as a critique of reductive beauty standards and the entertainment industry’s tendency to treat women’s bodies as endlessly modifiable. It also reads as an assertion of self-acceptance: her appearance is presented as a stable, inherent “shape,” not a problem to solve.
