“El padre de la actriz afuera, frente a la parrilla, como un guardián del asado, custodia toda esa vaca muerta puesta en la parrilla para agasajar a sus hijos.

“Another time she said, “What I find interesting is that of all these religious figures of ancient times, only the Buddha did not claim to be a god, or to be talking to God. The others all claim to be God, or God’s son, or to be taking dictation from God. Whereas the Buddha simply said, there is no God.

It is the most unassuming of religions. Not even a religion, but more a way to live.”
