I will never be satisfied. Life is one constant search for the betterment for me.

My earliest memories are the best. I always try to remember the good times when Daddy was alive.

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a female can enjoy. A father shares in that experience, knowing that he caused it to happen.

I guess a lot of people think that a girl who shows her bosom and wears tight dresses can’t be close to God. God has always been close to me. Only He knew what was in my heart.

I don’t know why you people [the press] like to compare me to Marilyn or that girl, what’s her name, Kim Novak. Cleavage, of course, helped me a lot to get where I am. I don’t know how they got there.

I hate when people are chomping their gum, even though I do it. I hate that.

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.

I like to cook Puerto Rican food. That’s what I grew up on: rice, beans, meat, some Italian-American food. I know my way around the kitchen.

When from a long distant past nothing subsists after the things are broken and scattered, the smell and taste of things remain.
