- [on her enormous natural breasts] Hopefully, I'm known more than for that. My breasts are what has helped make money all these years. They may not be the best looking tits around, but they sure are big. I used to have a complex about them. I still do.
- [on what she likes in a man] He's got to be very masculine, very self-assured. That's what I call a sexy man. Also, I liked my man to be very oversexed. He has to want sex every day, at least twice a day.
- I think Susie Nero on the screen comes across a little more sinister and hard looking than the real Susie. I'm actually a sweet and soft person. I'm not as hard as people think. It's true. They make me look worse on film. They use wide angle lens on me. They make me look bigger. People come up to me and say that I don't look like I do on the screen. They also mess up when they put on my make-up.
- [from a magazine interview done in December, 1982] I'm from a little town outside of Boston. I grew up in a strict middle-class family. My parents where very uptight while I was growing up, which is probably why I'm so wild today. I wasn't allowed to go out with boys until I was 16.
- [on what her parents think about her career in porn] Oh, they're absolutely appalled by it. My mother thinks I'm sick. She thinks I have a serious problem, that I've been oversexed for years. They attribute it to problems I had while I was growing up. They think I'm rebelling because of my strict upbringing. My family was tight for a while, and it broke up when I was about 16. So, my mother thinks I've been psychologically damaged by it and I'm lashing out at the family by getting involved with porn. I don't think it's true, but maybe it is true. I don't know.
- I like to do things that I think are hot on the screen. I try to get into everything I do. Even if the guys are not that hot, I try to get into it. The things I do with women are not in my personal life at all. I just do it for films, and while I do it for films, I really don't get anything out of it. I don't pursue women in my personal life at all. I experimented at one time, even had relationships with women, but now I'm not interested.
- Most of the parts I play are old women. I always play the older woman because I'm big.
- [on her sexual fantasies] I don't even think I have any. I'm boring when it comes to sexual fantasies. My favorite thing sexually is watching men jerk off, and that's not really exciting. I'm not into group sex or going to Plato's [the swingers club Plato's Retreat] or bondage or S&M. I'm not into anything wild. I'm just into old-fashioned sex.
- It's true that I have a preference for dark-skinned men. It doesn't have to be black men, because it can be Italian men or Spanish men. I just don't like men of my own color, because opposites attract, and very light-skinned men just don't turn me on.
- [from a magazine interview done in December, 1982] At this point, I like stripping best, because I love dancing, because I love to turn men on. I love my shows because they allow me to be creative. I love teasing men. I really get off on it. I can't deny it.
- Everyone in my hometown who knew me knows what I do, and I don't go back there, because they think I'm sick. When I was growing up, girls weren't allowed to play with me. I was a troublemaker, sometimes. I was always getting into trouble for stupid things like skipping school and shoplifting, even though I was athletic and got good grades. They always thought I was oversexed, and they were right. I've been boy crazy all my life. To my family, this business is sick. That's the way they think in New England, especially in Massachusetts. I hate Boston. I always wanted to get away from there. The people were always so far behind the times.
- [from a magazine interview done in December, 1982] There should be a way we can get paid better or royalties or something so we can get a better share of the profits. A percentage. It's a rip-off. This whole business is an exploitation of women. That's all it is. We're just a bunch of dumb cunts that you see on the screen, and we make a couple of hundred dollars and they make millions and laugh all the way to the bank.
- [from a magazine interview done in December, 1982] Let me say this. Guys go out and buy porno cassettes because of us. And do we make any money off of the sales? No. We don't make shit. We make a drop in the bucket compared to what they make on these films. They make millions. I worked at the trade show in Las Vegas two years ago and they told me that X-rated films sell better than straight films. When these guys buy a Betamax, they want the fuck films so they can watch them at home.
- I think the idea of tease and seduction is what makes films sexy. If you see a couple talking and they're in bed in the next scene, that's not hot. I want to see hot passionate kisses and caressing leading up to the sex. That's a lot sexier.
- [1982 comment on Vanessa del Rio] Vanessa exudes sex. She looks like a sexy tigress and she's raw. She's very oral. Her mouth is sexy. I think I know her better than a lot of people in the business because I've lived with her. I've seen all sides of her. We're still good friends. I just saw her two days ago. If we can help each other out, we do it. But she does look out for number one first and we're similar like that. Still, she's good people.
- [on Samantha Fox] There's not a bad word you can say about that lady. She's the most sincere, sweetest woman I've ever met in the business. She'd give you the shirt off her back, she's that generous.
- I'm an Aquarius and that means I'm very free-spirited. I just have this wild nature about me.
