"There is only one princess in the Disney tales, one girl who gets to be exalted. Princesses may confide in a sympathetic mouse or teacup, but they do not have girlfriends.

Their goals are to be saved by a prince, get married, and be taken care of the rest of their lives."

People, including the families and many others throughout Mexican society, aren't going to give up in fighting for just that kind of change.”

“Those who said I'm not an out-and-out goal-scorer are probably right. I always feel I could score more.”
