“It takes a long time for women to feel it's alright to be chingona. To aspire to be a chingona!...You are saying, 'This is my camino, this is my path and I'm gonna follow it, regardless of what culture says.' I don't think the church likes chingonas. I don't think the state likes chingonas.! And fathers definitely do not like chingonas. And boyfriends don't like chingonas. But, you know, I remain optimistic. I will meet a man who likes a chingona, one day. One day, my chingon will come.” ThinkingKnowsMenFeelsLongStatesCultureFatherChurchPathOne DayLong TimeLikesOptimisticAspireAlright Author:Sandra Cisneros

“I hate recording all the shows for the week in one day, because I want to be able to mention current events and pop culture.

“Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like it. People love you one day and hate you the next.
