"Size counts. That's all"
About this Quote
"Size counts. That's all" is the kind of blunt, cocktail-napkin provocation that only lands because Gina Gershon has spent a career weaponizing glamour, menace, and self-aware camp. It reads like a punchline, but the sting is in the final four words: "That's all" slams the door on debate, shoving a messy cultural argument into a single, supposedly settled fact.
The obvious surface is sexual bravado, a swipe at the polite lie that preference is never material. Gershon’s delivery (even on the page you can hear it) likely leans deadpan, a performer’s trick: state the crude thing with total calm, and everyone else supplies the scandal. The subtext is less about anatomy than power. "Size" becomes shorthand for the metrics we pretend not to worship - status, money, visibility, dominance. In that reading, it’s not a confession so much as an accusation: you can keep your enlightened talk, but the world still tallies.
Context matters because Gershon’s persona has often lived in the charged space between desire and threat, where attraction is transactional and honesty is part of the seduction. The quote also plays like a parody of macho certainty - the kind of line a guy would say, flipped with a smirk by a woman who knows the rules and enjoys breaking them. It’s a cultural pressure point: we want to believe people are above crude hierarchies, yet we keep building them. Gershon compresses that hypocrisy into two short sentences and dares you to deny it.
