—Además —lo interrumpió nuevamente—, mis hijos jamás tendrán que preocuparse por su próxima comida. Nunca tendrán que pagar impuestos, nunca tendrán que preocuparse acerca de cómo permitirse enviar a sus hijos a la escuela. Ellos siempre tendrán la opción de un sólido techo sobre sus cabezas y tres comidas diarias. Siempre habrá personas a su alrededor para cuidarlos y protegerlos. Ellos nunca, nunca estarán solos. Y si hicieran algo mal, tendrían el poder de arreglarlo. ↗

I love Tina Turner. I'm one of Tina Turner's biggest fans. Tina Turner was a big influence on me to become a singer. A role model and in a way she gave me back my confidence in choosing my material. ↗

The mystery of human destiny is that we are fated, but that we have the freedom to fulfill or not fulfill our fate: realization of our fated destiny depends on us. While inhuman beings like the cockroach realize the entire cycle without going astray because they make no choices. ↗

It's funny. Maria Elena and I, we are meant for each other and not meant for each other, it's a contradiction. ↗

Many governments employ torture but this was the first time that the element of Saturnalia and pornography in the process had been made so clear to me. If you care to imagine what any inadequate or cruel man might do, given unlimited power over a woman, then anything that you can bring yourself to suspect was what became routine in ESMA, the Navy Mechanics School that became the headquarters of the business. I talked to Dr. Emilio Mignone, a distinguished physician whose daughter Monica had disappeared into the precincts of that hellish place. What do you find to say to a doctor and a humanitarian who has been gutted by the image of a starving rat being introduced to his daughter's genitalia? Like hell itself the school was endorsed and blessed by priests, in case any stray consciences needed to be stilled. ↗

Anything creative requires a bit of acting,and filling in blanks with imagination. ↗

Initially, I feel expansive when I try something new, and then contract as soon as I encounter difficulty or the unknown. I am learning to experiment with my tolerance of difficulty and the not knowing, in order to go further with my creative dreams. Whenever I experience contraction, I explore it by asking, "Where did I stop and why?" Building a creative dream life is not just about achieving, succeeding, or "meeting goals." It is also about floundering, stumbling, tripping and failing. ↗
