- 'I was a late developer in every sense. At 21, I became interested in men for the first time and men became more interested in me. My body reacted by producing this enomous bosom. It had nothing to do with the Pill, which I've never taken.'
- 'When you've got a bosom like mine, there's a very narrow margin between being sexy and ridiculous.'
- 'The most irritating thing is when people assume that because you have a large bosom, you're going to be vapid and silly. I fail to see what glands have got to do with brains.'
- I found myself typecast: I was a couple of breasts with a face above them and a squeaky voice. Everyone thought I was brainless and I was stuck with that image for the rest of my career.
