Words have very potent meanings and people read them and they react to them personally. They are very suggestive in terms of your life and things like that.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I have very heartwarming fans.

Any habit may be discontinued by building in its place some other and more desirable habit.

To get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future.

It wasn't until the late '70s that a lot of people knew me.

The Latina in me is an ember that blazes forever.
