It seems that we have been born only to consume and to consume, and when we can no longer consume, we have a feeling of frustration, and we suffer from poverty, and we are auto-marginalized.

My definition of poor are those who need too much. Because those who need too much are never satisfied.

Some people love money and get into politics. If they love money so much, they should get into commerce, industry, or do whatever they want - it's no sin. But politics is for serving the people.

I can live well with what I have.I'm called 'the poorest president', but I don't feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more.

This is a matter of freedom. If you don't have many possessions then you don't need to work all your life like a slave to sustain them, and therefore you have more time for yourself.

I'm not the poorest president. The poorest is the one who needs a lot to live.

If I asked people to live as I live, they would kill me.

Between madness and sanity, there is a shifting boundary. It is impossible to explain. Time slows down and you have to try to fill it. You don't have anything but solitude.

Uruguay is a country which has grown from immigration, people from all over. That is our origin.

In life you can fall down 1000 times but the point is to have the willingness to stand up and to start again.

The way the banks behave is frankly unbearable. I didn't rob for me. I expropriated resources for a struggle. If I had robbed for myself that would be different.

I'm a lion in a strange land.

Love isn't meant to hurt. But if it does, then it is absolutely not a true love.

Growth is not an ancient gift but how you face your fear.

Sometimes one is guided by what they say of themselves, and very frequently by what other people say of them, without giving oneself time to deliberate and judge

Keeping Crooked Hillary Clinton out of the White House!

Another person's illness is often harder to bear than one's own.

Love is the undisturbed balance that binds this universe together.

I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.

It's like pain, this pleasure.

Fans are my favorite thing in the world.
