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.

If you go looking for loonies and religious fanatics and dropouts and freaks, I dare say you’ll find it.

I’m an OCD neat freak. I can’t stand messes. I make my bed every morning. Laundry. I do it all.

I’ve been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.

No one is a freak of nature. No one is going to be able to take the pounding a running back has to take over a 10- or 12-year career and not lose a step.

The GOP’s freak out over Donald Trump. Just two months to Iowa, can anyone stop him?

I had to do another couple of albums about this idiot. Then I had to play in front of 37 people. It was horrible. I was crying. I was freaked out.
