Zitat des Tages von Cristina Saralegui:
The common denominator all Latinos have is that we want some respect. That's what we're all fighting for.
Being a professional woman, I function the best when I don't distinguish between work and play.
If you stay on the air for 18 years, people know you.
I'm very, very Spanish. I have fat cheeks on both ends. I'm sitting on my Spanish part. And it's my heart, the way I am, the way I speak. It has nothing to do with the way I look.
If I have to be compared to somebody, it is to Martha Stewart.
On the television planet, where men make up the tribe, the law of the caveman rules. So, for a woman coming from another world, without experience or cunning, to succeed gradually in gaining control over what is to be taped, what goes out over the air, what is said without censorship, is an epic feat.
People would write me hate letters. How dare I try to represent Hispanics when I was so white? I tried to make them see it was racism.
You have to eat right. That does not mean that I don't drink Cuban coffee. That does not mean that I do not have two cigarettes a day - that's what I'm down to. I drink wine - you know, I'm normal. But I do eat well.
President Obama is a principled man who has worked hard to put healthcare and a good education in the reach of millions of Americans and believes that everyone who works hard and plays by the rules, should have a fair shot at the American dream.
I was the only person at Univision who had complete creative control of my own show, by contract. They didn't like that. I was the executive producer; I owned the studio where we taped. I decided who went on my show and who didn't.
I am not a person of faith. I'm a Catholic. I was brought up Catholic, but I'm not a church-going sort of girl. I'm very spiritual. I pray every night. I believe in Heaven and Hell, but I'm not a person that goes to church, like, every Sunday.
My hope is to see Tom Cruise jumping on my couch.
The world is not ideal, and the only weapon we can give our children is information. Information which is not pretty, but honest.
You can't ignore the obvious. Women after a certain age are believed to be good for nothing in the entertainment field, especially in the Latin world.
How proud I am to be compared to Oprah. I really admire her. She's a minority woman and she's done all this by herself... I'm very happy to be Oprah with salsa and not Donahue in drag.
We Latin women are liberated from the neck up, not the neck down.
Latin life is rich with warmth, family values and history. I want to bring that beauty into American homes.
I am a Cuban mother, and you do not let your cubs get into trouble without you trying to help them all the way.
