Being born, especially being born a person of color, is a political act in itself.

I like the aesthetics of the Church.

Oftentimes we love the thing we hate and vice versa.

I like going to Church for aesthetic reasons, rather than spiritual ones.

As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.

I don't think that because I am Hispanic I should therefore do Hispanic work.

I have never been able to see myself as fitting into one category, and I have never been able to limit my contact with people to one group of people.
