“I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb - and I'm not blonde either.”

“It doesn't bother me when someone calls me a 'dumb blonde.' I'm neither dumb or blonde.”

“I make jokes about it, but it's the truth that I kind of patterned my look after the town tramp. I didn't know what she was, just this woman who was blond and piled her hair up, wore high heels and tight skirts, and, boy, she was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. Momma used to say, "Aw, she's just trash," and I thought, That's what I want to be when I grow up. Trash.”

“I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.”

“If I see something saggin', baggin', or draggin', I'm gone have it nipped, tucked, or sucked!”

“They think I’m simpleminded because I seem to be happy. Why shouldn’t I be happy? I have everything I ever wanted and more. Maybe I am simpleminded. Maybe that’s the key: simple.”

“People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don’t know, I’m never there.”
