"All my life my mother told me that I had strong jaws like a guy. It was not womanly. Well, I got them from my father, I think. So yes, I won't say I am particularly feminine... I used to hide my jaws with my long hair. John used to say, 'Show me your face!' and took my hair out of my face. [He said], 'Look, you’re beautiful. I don't know why you are hiding with your hair'. I kept myself hidden."

John wasn't always the beacon of support, however: "My head was unusually large for my small body. So John called me a Martian."
