00:01oh, God, I'm so fat, you know, this is gonna be hard.
00:04And Penny Marshall didn't help by saying,
00:06Rosie, I want you to lose 20 pounds
00:09before we start principal photography.
00:12And I'm like, you think I carry it around for fun, Penny?
00:15Is that what you do?
00:16You think I was, I could get it off,
00:18but I've just been holding onto it for the glory?
00:21When I look back, though, you know, I go,
00:23God, I wish I could have enjoyed the size that I was,
00:27which I'm now the same weight
