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

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.

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.

As far as I’ve been alive, women have always been more or less the symbol of sexuality rather than the male. We don’t see the naked male body, as the symbol of sex.

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.

I’ve always been a health fanatic.

Revolution’ does not necessarily involve sanguinary strife nor is there any place in it for individual vendetta. It is not the cult of the bomb and the pistol. By ‘Revolution’ we mean that the present order of things, which is based on manifest injustice, must change.

The world is ready for a mystic revolution, a discovery of the God in each of us.

Those who are inclined to compromise never make a revolution.

Our government is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quicksands, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution.

The people generally get accustomed to the established order of things and begin to tremble at the very idea of a change. It is this lethargical spirit that needs be replaced by the revolutionary spirit.

Merciless criticism and independent thinking are the two necessary traits of revolutionary thinking.

Revolution is Tupac showing a young artist that he can scribble in a notebook and it’s worth a lot.

For me, revolution is around young people with no skills, college education, and coming from everywhere having an economic impact on an entire system which no one notices.
