“The brain, the mind, and all the things that happen inside it, it’s a very erogenous zone.”

You can’t fake listening. It shows.

For a woman to be considered a celebrated beauty is not exactly a bad thing. I think we have to say that in all reality.

We all have a childhood dream that when there is love, everything goes like silk, but the reality is that marriage requires a lot of compromise.

My body is the shape I live in and it shapes the way I live.

Just as you maintain your home, your car, your garden, you should look after your greatest gift: your body.

Myra Breckenridge is the antithesis of sex symbol. She’s revolutionary; she’s a warrior.

I think that women should be decorative.

I COULDN’T stand that my husband was being unfaithful. I am Raquel Welch – understand?

There aren’t any hard women, only soft men.

Being a sex symbol was rather like being a convict.

Latinos are here to stay. As citizen Raquel, I’m proud to be Latina.

I was not a classic mother. But my kids were never palmed off to boarding school. So, I didn’t bake cookies. You can buy cookies, but you can’t buy love.

Not everybody is comfortable with my ethnicity. When I first came along in the business, they didnt really like the idea of my name being Raquel.

I was always willing to take a great deal of the burden of getting along in life on my own shoulders, but I wasn’t willing to give myself a pat on the back. I was always looking to somebody else to give me that. .. That was all wrong.

You know what’s the sexiest thing of all? A little mystery.

Talking to a drunk person was like talking to an extremely happy, severely brain-damaged three-year-old.

If you’re willing to suffer, and I mean suffer, your brain and body once connected together, can do anything.

The most important part of the body is the brain. Of my face, I like the eyebrows and eyes.

The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.

Perhaps consciousness arises when the brain’s simulation of the world becomes so complex that it must include a model of itself.

There is nothing like chess to keep the brain smart, and give it a workout.

To let the brain work without sufficient material is like racing an engine. It racks itself to pieces.

I’m crazy, I’m nuts. Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently.
