I’m not overweight. I’m just nine inches too short.
Meaning of the quote
"I'm not overweight. I'm just nine inches too short." This quote means that someone might look overweight, but it's actually because they are shorter than the average person. The actress who said this was trying to say that she didn't have a weight problem, but that she was just a bit shorter than most people, which made her look heavier than she really was.
