Personal quotes:
Once you get rid of the idea that you must please other people beforeyou please yourself, and you begin to follow your own instincts - onlythen can you be successful. You become more satisfied, and when youare, other people will tend to be satisfied by what you do.
Being a sex symbol was rather like being a convict.
[in 1973] I couldn't stand that my husband was being unfaithful. I amRaquel Welch - understand?
The mind is an erogenous zone.
Americans have always had sex symbols. It'a time-honored tradition andI'm flattered to have been one. But it's hard to have a long, fruitfulcareer once you've been stereotyped that way. That's why I'm proud tosay I've endured.
