Raquel Welch

If you have physical attractiveness you don’t have to act.

Latinos are here to stay. As citizen Raquel, I’m proud to be Latina.

My father was a perfectionist. We had to hop to everything and have marvelous table manners. I could only wear navy blue and gray and white. He wanted me to be interested in tennis and horses just like a little princess, but I couldn’t stand such things.

Being a sex symbol was rather like being a convict.

Here’s a question for you women out there: Can every man you fancy fit into your life with its professional and private commitments? Or is he going to upset the apple cart and destroy the balance of things? Sound selfish? Maybe. But it’s a reality. Is this romantic liaison going to prove to be a positive or destructive influence in your life? And most important of all, is he absolutely worth it?

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.

It’s a lot harder to do an ensemble because your energy is going in so many different places, and you have to cover everybody. You have to sort of split your attention.

The women’s movement hasn’t changed my sex life. It wouldn’t dare.

I really wasn’t heavy in high school. But no one feels right in their own skin, particularly in high school.

I’ve gotten to a point with fashion where I just don’t care. I wear and I do what I want because I like it, because I am confident in it, because it makes me feel good. That’s the only way you can do it.

My vocal style I haven’t tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.

I believe in large families. Every woman should have at least three husbands.

I don’t know, I like to go on really different types of dates. Going someplace new or some new part of the city, something that’s not your average thing. Something where you just go have an adventure together.

You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.

I hate that the paparazzi agencies get all of the fan accounts shut down! Ugh we have to think of something! Maybe start our own agency? And let all of the fans post whatever tf they want!!!!!

That’s exactly what Dale Sr. was going to do. It was, ‘When I quit, I’ve got somewhere to go. I’ve spent my money, made my name. This is where I want to be.’ Junior is in the same suit.

If I didn’t do what I do, I wouldn’t be as young as I am.

Comedy is acting out optimism.

Contrary to popular myth, I didn’t just hatch out of an eagle’s nest, circa One Million Years B.C., clad in a doe-skin bikini. In fact, I was more surprised than anyone to find myself on location in such an exotic setting, high atop a volcanic mountain in the Canary Islands! With the release of that famous movie poster, in one fell swoop, everything in my life changed and everything about the real me was swept away. All else would be eclipsed by this bigger-than-life sex symbol.

I like you baby, just not more than my work right now

I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself.
