Quote by Beatriz Preciado

“Somos los jacobinos negros y maricas, las bolleras rojas, los desahuciados verdes, somos los trans sin papeles, los animales de laboratorio y de los mataderos, los trabajadores y trabajadoras informático-sexuales, putones diversos funcionales, somos los sin tierra, los migrantes, los autistas, los que sufrimos de déficit de atención, exceso de tirosina, falta de serotonina, somos los que tenemos demasiada grasa, los discapacitados, los viejos en situación precaria. Somos la diáspora rabiosa. Somos los reproductores fracasados de la tierra, los cuerpos imposibles de rentabilizar para la economía del conocimiento. [...] Somos la red viva descentralizada. Rechazamos una ciudadanía definida a partir de nuestra fuerza de producción o nuestra fuerza de reproducción. No somos bio-operarios productores de óvulos, ni cavidades gestantes, ni inseminadores espermáticos.”

“I continued to work with uncertainty and the impending 90 days ticking away at the shelter. I didn't make enough money to pay rent in L.A., my employer was in a downward spiral, headed for bankruptcy and there was really nothing else keeping me in Hollywood. I didn't have a band, family or friends. The only people I associated with were coworkers at Tower and the drug addicts at the homeless shelter. And both were about to become history. I contemplated the scenario of not finding a place to rent and Tower Records going out of business. I had to figure out what I was going to do? Where was I going to go? I had to make a decisive, drastic decision!”

“MUSIC. It’s in my heart! It’s in my mind! It’s in my soul! Music has a way of taking control of my entire being, and I’m perfectly okay with that! Music is Life! Music is LOVE. Music makes life extra special! Music is a GIFT to the world!”
