This is a coca leaf. This is not cocaine. This represents the culture of indigenous people of the Andean region.

We can not have equilibrium in this world with the current inequality and destruction of Mother Earth. Capitalism is what is causing this problem and it needs to end.

Bolivia is a majority indigenous nation, but that majority has always been excluded.

I'm just the democratic voice of Bolivia.

I want to stress that at no time Bolivia acts untimely or irresponsibly.

Dialogue is the basis of Indian culture, and we don't want to make any enemies. Political and ideological adversaries, perhaps, but not enemies.

The way I see it, it's impossible to change things without encountering resistance.

For me, being leftist means fighting against injustice and inequality but, most of all, we want to live well.

Capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity.

Globalization creates economic policies where the transnationals lord over us, and the result is misery and unemployment.

The fight against drug trafficking is a false pretext for the United States to install military bases.

Your race is your diminishing life

Within the madness of my subliminal mind often brilliant thoughts are aligned.

Still, experience has taught me that knowing one's enemy is key to winning any battle.

I hope that anyone I worked with wouldn't exploit our relationship.

We lost so many talented artists and writers from the generations before ours that we're really lacking older figureheads.

Of course things you don't know about are always nicer'n things you do, same as the pertater on 'tother side of the plate is always the biggest.

Maybe because I'm a child of the 80's, but for me a sequel is a story that follows the previous one, and sometimes if you haven't seen the original then you don't understand the second one.

I cannot function if there is a physical mess around me. If everything is falling apart, I go on a cleaning frenzy.

The love we most cherish will, of necessity, bring us pain. Because that love is like the setting of a body with broken bones. But I want to stage the setting. I want to direct all scenes.

Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire.
