“[About her costumes, designed by her sister, Carmen] I got to be always with the same size. If I change, if I put two pounds, trust me, if I put two pounds, then the zipper don’t close. That’s why the reason that I never change in my size because if I like it to dress the costume that my sister designed, I got to have the same weight like when I was 17 or 18 year old. Seriously, Jim, I’m telling you the truth. She make a mannequin with my size a long time ago. And that’s the one that I got to remember if I wanna wear her clothes.” —Charo, actress, singer, comedian, guitarist
