Daily Inspiration Quote by Cindy Margolis

"To me, bigger is better"

About this Quote

Breezy on the surface, "To me, bigger is better" lands like a time capsule from peak late-90s/early-2000s pop culture, when attention was an economy and "more" was the closest thing to a moral. Coming from Cindy Margolis, a model whose fame was built in the early internet era of maximized visibility, the line isn’t philosophy so much as brand language: simple, quotable, slightly provocative, and engineered to travel.

The intent is disarmingly practical. In modeling and celebrity culture, “bigger” can mean bigger hair, bigger campaigns, bigger platforms, bigger buzz. It’s a neat self-justification for scale as success - an ethos that plays well in industries where being noticed is the job. The first-person framing matters: "To me" inoculates the statement against critique. It’s not a universal claim; it’s preference, taste, a shrug with lipstick. That softens the arrogance while still asserting a worldview.

The subtext is where it gets sly. The phrase has a built-in double entendre that invites the audience to do the dirty work of sexualizing it, then pretend the speaker “just meant” something else. That wink-and-deny dynamic was a staple of mainstream media: sell allure without owning it, keep the image “fun” rather than fraught.

Contextually, it echoes an era of conspicuous consumption and maximization - bigger bodies idealized in specific ways, bigger lifestyles marketed, bigger fame measured in clicks and mentions. It works because it’s both aspiration and punchline, a mantra that knows it’s a little ridiculous but bets you’ll repeat it anyway.
