From what she wrote: "You said that you wanted to show these women as witches, calling the viewer into the story. You said that, while you’d grown up with Farrah Fawcett images of America, that you wanted bodies to represent America as it is now: “gluttonous, sad, aging, overfed, tired.”" Searching for that exact phrase there are loads of pages on google.

Then I saw your comment and thought he had to lie to escape fattism wrath. So I had to read a bit. I think he caught on to the fattism wrath way before this aired. As soon as he saw the models he was going to film, they had a bitchfit about howthey would be portrayed and he anticipated the reaction of the general public. So to avoid them walking out and all the overweight viewers being buttblasted he tells this fantastic story about how he fell in love with fatties, everybody gives him a pass while he still has his fat wenches in the film and everyone in cinema's can still giggle and mutter "disgusting" under their breath. It is what I would do. Or not, I have a big mouth. Then again he may really like fatties. I cannot look inside his head.
