I'm most tired after I read, after I've just done a performance, but what I try to do is to fuel and eat a really healthy meal before I perform. I want to have enough energy to talk to that last person.

The house was immaculate, as always, not a stray hair anywhere, not a flake of dandruff or a crumpled towel. Even the roses on the dining-room table held their breath. A kind of airless cleanliness that always made me want to sneeze.

I have this great fear of Mexico City. I won't go to Mexico City unless someone meets me at the airport and is with me. I just feel very vulnerable there.

When I was a child, I was very shy, and there's still a part of me that's very shy.

When I say what I'm reading, this is what I need. I know the ills that plague me.

To me, the Virgen de Guadalupe is just a vessel for me to recognize my own God within myself.

Sometimes hearing the stories is going to change people's lives much more than if they read it.
