William J. Perry Quotes

Every adult, whether he is a follower or a leader, a member of a mass or of an elite, was once a child. He was once small. A sense of smallness forms a substratum in his mind, ineradicably. His triumphs will be measured against this smallness; his defeats will substantiate it.

I think of myself as still being about five.

Height has been very, very central to the development of my personality.

I am small. I was always small. But only physically.

If you don't like the look of my face, don't look at me! I'm the one who has to live with it.

Don't let your image, don't let your size, hold you back. If I had let my hips or my jiggly thighs hold me back or the fact that I've got these big heavy breasts, then I would not be where I am today.

When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn't quite match the way I looked at five.

I'm not a centerfold.

I'm an outgoing girl, and I can't help the way I look.

Sex in a dance is in the eyes of the beholder. I never thought my dances sexy. I suppose that's because I see myself with my face washed, and to me I look like a rabbit.

I don't see myself as angry, although other people see that. I just see myself as a short, dumpy guy with bad feet, and I'm passionate.

It's always difficult to see yourself as other people do, but I'm realistic about my appearance. I wasn't born with one of those pretty, pretty faces, so I've never been absorbed with the way I look. I just try to make the most of what I've got.

I think I look okay.

My face has always been my fortune anyway, not my body.

I feel very confident with the way I look. But I felt just as confident the way I looked before. I've always been confident with who I am.

I never thought I was cute, ever.

When my editor sent me the first two images of Joker's daughter, I was struck by how confident she looked despite her boney appearance and horribly scarred face. So I starting thinking, how did Duela gain such confidence in a world that prizes beauty?

A sex symbol? A symbol of sex? I don't think that I am a sex symbol, although it's very flattering. I'm 59, now, so I think I'm possibly past my sell-by date. I think I am.

I'm not like a gorgeous bombshell or anything like that.

It's no one's fault to be born ugly, but, honestly, must it be worn as a symbol of pride?

I don't think I've changed since I was a little kid.

I never considered myself a supermodel or anything like that. I mean, I don't think I'm ugly. I have good days and bad days, and I like when I'm fit and lean and all of those things that any woman likes, but it's not the eye of the hurricane for me.

There were times that I thought I was good looking.

My looks have changed, but I was never beautiful, so I'm not any less beautiful now.

My size wasn't something that I'd ever spent a huge amount of time thinking about - I guess at the age of 17 or 18 you don't.
