I'm 5-foot-10 and I have a weight problem. Nobody wants to see me in a leotard.

[On Top Gun] My height was the problem. There were huge discussions about high heels or no high heels on our first 'date.' Tom [Cruise] said he had no problems if I wore heels and thus would be taller than him. But the studio (Paramount) would not hear of it.

I'm told I'm too big. Well, that's what I am. I'm 5'10" and I've never been petite. I don't like the idea that some things are beautiful and some things are not. Who's to say? It becomes a source of infinite frustration. And I have a weight problem that I have to work on.
