I'm five feet tall in my bare feet and six-four in my shoes and wig! You have to stand out and I stand out in a couple of places.
I'm only five feet tall. I'm very small. A lot of people think I'm much bigger. I'm six-two in my heels and hair. Even these (looking down at her ample cleavage) aren't as big as you think. They just look big, hanging on a small body.
-- Tallahassee Democrat, 1984
I’m only five feet tall. I walk tall, I got a tall attitude. But I’m just a little bitty person. When people see me in airports the stop me and say, “Gee, I thought you were a big person.”
-- Interview Magazine
My waist has always been small — even when I was heavier that always saved me, and at the moment, it’s about 19 inches, I guess. But I’m a little person, you see. I’m only five feet one — five feet two if I’m standing really tall — and for my height I’m a good weight now, about 107 pounds. I feel like I’ve been let out of prison now that I’ve finally got my weight down and been able to maintain it. Because | hate to diet, I hate diet food, I hate diet drinks. I love to eat what I like, when I like.
-- In good company (Michael Aspel), 1989
