In an interview with Guinness World Records Lee Redmond talked about her meeting with Melvin Booth:
在一次採訪中，吉尼斯世界紀錄保持者Lee Redmond談到自己與Melvin Booth的會面時說：

“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的那次會面給我留下了十分愉快的回憶，他觸動了我的生命。看到他甚至無法走出家門也讓我幾近心碎。當我離開的時候我們倆都留下了眼淚。我希望有一天他會發現他的存在不僅僅是因爲自己的指甲...我認爲我和Melvin的區別首先在於他們不會不讓我到外面去活動，他們也沒把我隔絕起來。如果他們不讓我接近人羣或者過着非常人的生活，我是絕對不會選擇繼續留指甲的。”

“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.”
“我希望他決定出去和人們交流，同時我也肯定他感覺到了我對他的愛和敬佩。我在乎的不是他的指甲而是他本人。”
