I was always trying to make up for my size, to compensate. So to get people to take you seriously, you have to come at things with a great deal of strength. You have to emphasize that the way you are is unusual. That you don't come along every day.
People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.
I think people have always liked in me the combination of being the underdog because I'm a tiny woman but I have enormous authority in myself.
