“Yeah, I'm one of those guys--I'm either totally on time and--and everything's good, or I just--I just didn't know what happened, you know, and I just totally don't show up. Like not like late, like, I didn't know--my problem is that sometimes I'm real bad at getting information and retaining it, so…I dunno…Sometimes it's more forgetting than late.”

“Now look, I'm not saying God is, you know, causing earthquakes. Well—I'm not saying that he—I'm not not saying that either. God — what God does is God's business, I have no idea. But I'll tell you this: whether you call it Gaia or whether you call it Jesus — there's a message being sent. And that is, "Hey, you know that stuff we're doing? Not really working out real well. Maybe we should stop doing some of it."”

“As a writer, I'm trying to capture the voice of my characters, who sometimes will speak in Spanglish…”

Gary Soto (1952) American poet and writer

[Often my characters—a Jesus, a Hector, a Gloria—will be bilingual, or if not bilingual at least know enough Spanish to throw words and phrases into conversation.]

“One of the pleasures of writing novels is that my characters usually do something. But in real life we often stay locked in a situation that we know is painful or wrong.”

“Known of the respectability on the part of everyone. I've always been called the villain of reality because unfortunately I'm one of the few real ones. When I think of something, I expose it, regardless of whether it may later please the public.”

Soleil Sorge (1994) American naturalized Italian model, television presenter, television personality and commentator

Original: (it) Noto del perbenismo da parte di tutti quanti. Io sono sempre stata definita la cattiva del reality perché purtroppo sono una delle poche vere. Quando penso una cosa la espongo, a prescindere che possa poi piacere al pubblico.
