WALTER MERCADO

I have always liked to speak to people very directly.

You have to be nice to people, you have to give the best of yourself every moment of your life, and you have to believe in yourself.

Walter Mercado means love, peace and understanding, means compassion.

He used to be a star, but now... Walter is a constellation.

I have used astrology to send positive messages: 'You can do it, even if you fall, get back up again.'

I will never tire. I'm full of energy.

I am a perfectionist, and my immense respect for my fans and the public meant that the quality of my clothing had to match my performance.

Imitation is flattery. There was once a survey of who was the most imitated celebrity in Latin American countries, especially in Brazil and Argentina, and I was in third place after Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

Everything happens within God's perfect plan.

My message is positive, and I am honest about who I am.

Miami has been a second home where I have lived and worked for many decades and a crucial place in the trajectory of sharing my message with global audiences.

I don't need a person to make me happy.

My eyes were bad. I stuttered. I had hepatitis, double pneumonia, even anemia. When I was 7, my family took me on a trip to Cuba, and all my ailments disappeared. Cuba gave me health, so I've been deeply attached to Cubans ever since.

The people want to know is Walter straight, homosexual, metrosexual, bisexual - I don't care. Here I am, I am who I am, that's it.

I want to look beautiful.

I have to be very humble. I know that anything I do is through God. Through me, God can make a miracle. The most you can do is to think and create all love, all grace, all power, all health. When you do that, amazing things can happen. But the day I think that I'm doing a miracle myself is a foolish day for me.

I want to look alluring.

Bill Bakula was my angel. In one moment in my life, he was sent by God to make me and my message of love be known. He was very smart. He was the master.

I want to mesmerize people. I study dancing, so I use my hands. The people love all that kind of stupid things. So I used the stupid things to teach, to help, to serve, to give a beautiful message of love and peace.

To be different is a gift. To be ordinary is common.

My life includes much meditation and good energy, so my mind will stay busy.

Everything about me was different.

The sky is love's muse.

I am God's perfect son. And I am love and my life shall never lack in love.

All religions have a point of convergence.
