Being a sex symbol was rather like being a convict.

Summary

This quote implies that being a sex symbol is often accompanied by a sense of constraint or imprisonment. Similar to being a convict who is confined by rules and limitations, a sex symbol is also bound by societal expectations and stereotypes that dictate their behavior and appearance. This comparison highlights the idea that even though being seen as attractive can be desirable, it can also be burdensome and restrictive, denying individuals their freedom to live authentically outside of society's objectifying gaze.
