In an interview with Guinness World Records Lee Redmond talked about her meeting with Melvin Booth:
在一次采访中，吉尼斯世界纪录保持者Lee Redmond谈到自己与Melvin Booth的会面时说：
“I have very, very fond memories from Melvin, he touched my life. He also broke my heart, to see this man who wouldn’t even go out of his home. Tears when I left, both he and I. I hope that some day he will realise that he’s more than his fingernails. . . I think the difference between Melvin and me, for one thing they didn’t keep me from going out in public, and they didn’t make me be secluded. I would have never, never chose to keep them if they would have had to keep me away from people or you know, living whatever normal is you know.”
“和Melvin的那次会面给我留下了十分愉快的回忆，他触动了我的生命。看到他甚至无法走出家门也让我几近心碎。当我离开的时候我们俩都留下了眼泪。我希望有一天他会发现他的存在不仅仅是因为自己的指甲...我认为我和Melvin的区别首先在于他们不会不让我到外面去活动，他们也没把我隔绝起来。如果他们不让我接近人群或者过着非常人的生活，我是绝对不会选择继续留指甲的。”
“I hope he will decide to go out and interact with people and I’m sure that he felt the love that I had for him and respect. It wasn’t his fingernails; it was him that I cared for.”
“我希望他决定出去和人们交流，同时我也肯定他感觉到了我对他的爱和敬佩。我在乎的不是他的指甲而是他本人。”
