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

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.

I was a bigger-than-life persona before I was anyone in my own mind.

Weight-bearing exercises can help ward off osteoporosis and yoga helps ward off arthritis.

In school, nobody could pronounce my name. They just called me Rocky.

The mind can also be an erogenous zone.

Every Joke is a Tiny Revolution.

If you wish to understand what Revolution is, call it Progress; and if you wish to understand what Progress is, call it Tomorrow.

The revolution of tenderness begins in the heart of the family.

Revolutions are not born of chance but of necessity.

It is by treating others with respect and love that we also can make a revolution of tenderness.

When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.

A great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all.

Only those who have already experienced a revolution within themselves can reach out effectively to help others.
