Rita Moreno - biography

“This is my idea of heaven, coming home and watching the news.”

“Bigger than life is not difficult for me.  I am bigger than life.”

“Then there’s the story of ill-fated love.  It’s universal.”

“The reason there weren’t any, I am surmising, is that a lot of Latin kids, Latino kids, in those days didn’t have the money to take those kind of classes.”

“When was the last time you saw a musical about people at war with each other?”

“They made me use an accent, which I wasn’t thrilled about because a lot of us, obviously, don’t have them.”
