The past is there, but life is circular. I have a strong sense of the circularity of time.

I grew up very strongly with this sense of time being circular: that it constantly returned upon itself.

I have a strong sense that I have to educate people about disability.

I don't have a strong sense of self-worth unless I'm doing something.

I have a strong moral sense - by my standards.

There's a spirit of Latina women in all of my work, in the love of the body and the strong sense of self.
