I don't believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
I have made only two films on the underworld. I am not educating the people on the underworld.
At this moment, by an undeserved stroke of fortune, I am the direct voice of the poets of my race and the indirect voice for the noble Spanish and Portuguese tongues.
You see, I am friends with a lobsterman. Because we are friends, which feels lucky anyway, I get access to the most amazing fish. It's like having a backstage pass - a culinary jackpot that feels almost undeserved.
I suppose I have very undesirable traits. I am very critical, which is very undesirable. But it is good from a business point of view.
I am interested in the gap between what people say and what they think - the undiscovered world of people's lives. Lives of quiet desperation.
On the surface, I've created a good life. I've lived the American dream. But I am still an undocumented immigrant.
I am undoubtedly one of the more, if not the most, privileged undocumented immigrants in America. And for us at Define American, which is this culture campaign group that I founded with some friends, culture trumps politics.
I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing.
Anybody who thinks that they should lead the country should go ahead and put their hat in the ring. I am not among them. And I want to be unequivocal about that. There are no circumstances. I don't want to be coy about this.
I know that people are fascinated by what I did as a teenager, but what I did was immoral, illegal, unethical, and something that I am not proud of - nor will I ever be proud of.
I am always looking for ideas, whether it is in art on the street or in my world travels. It comes to me randomly and unexpectedly.
I couldn't stand that my husband was being unfaithful. I am Raquel Welch - understand?
It seems to be unfathomable to people that I just happen to be 49 and look good. I am totally capable of accepting myself.
I feel I am a little unfit for the kind of music that is being made today. There is a big difference between what I sang earlier and what is being made now. I am not saying this music is bad, but there are too many beats.
I am very harsh on myself. I can point out a list. My nose is very strange. I have a very round face. I sound so ungrateful. Obviously I'm being hard on myself. Whether it's body dysmorphia, or whatever it is, I can always find something wrong.
As unhealthy as I am, I'm weirdly aware of exactly how my body functions.
I know how my body operates differently from what it did when it was 30 and when it was 20. As unhealthy as I am, I'm weirdly aware of exactly how my body functions.
Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am.
I am interested in the way that we look at a given landscape and take possession of it in our blood and brain. None of us lives apart from the land entirely; such an isolation is unimaginable.
