Actress Christina Ricci opened up to Entertainment Tonight in an interview (which will air today) about her battle with self image, anorexia and weight issues, revealing that while she went through some tough times in her earlier years worrying about her image and preoccuppied with her looks, she says these days she’s older, wiser and finally comfortable in her own skin:

“I was a teenager going through adolescence and at one point I had a little anorexia phase and then I kind of ballooned. I feel my body now is the adult Christina and it’s what I should have come to a long time ago if I hadn’t been screwing around with my body so much.”

“Vanity is unnecessary. I’m the most vain person on earth but I have found a way to let that go so I can just have fun. You really have to make a decision in life that you’re not going to be crippled by your insecurities.”
