"I like to show as much of a woman as I can. I like to fill things out"
About this Quote
"I like to fill things out" is even more loaded. On the surface, it's about fit: clothes that honor curves rather than conceal them. Underneath, it's a rebuke to Hollywood's long, punitive obsession with thinness and the way actresses are asked to disappear into sample sizes. "Fill things out" doubles as a metaphor for presence. It's not just the body occupying fabric, it's a performer occupying space in a business that often rewards women for shrinking, smoothing, and sanding down anything that reads as too much.
The intent reads less like a pin-up boast and more like a practical claim: sensuality can be a tool, not a trap, when the person wielding it sets the terms. In an era when actresses were routinely boxed into either "tasteful" restraint or overt sex symbol, Lynch's phrasing splits the difference. It suggests pleasure without apology, but also control - a reminder that what looks like compliance with the gaze can also be a negotiation with it.
