I've never seen my height as being anything other than positive and a unique selling point.
I'm certainly really rather tall at 6 foot 3, and I've been this way since I was 14, but for years, women who are even 5 foot 10 have come up to me in the street and said, 'Oh, it's so nice to see a woman who is taller than me. I've always felt like a giant.'

Many people can't see past my height, and it's been very difficult to be considered for parts simply because I'm six foot three.- SFX Magazine
I am 6'3" or 6'4 1/2", depending on when you measure me. My parents treated my height as a wonderful thing to be celebrated, but also normal. I love being tall as you literally look at life from a different perspective: it's easier to breeze through life's turmoils.

At 12, I was 5'7". At 14, I was 6'1". Then I grew another couple of inches after that when I was around 18. I'm now 6'3" and a quarter. Either I'm still growing or my posture has improved. I'm hoping I'm still growing.
