“I am Walter, a body, but more important than the body is my spirit.”

“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.”

“All religions have a point of convergence.”

“When you are a child, your father is God to you. Then, as you grow up, you have different gods. You change. But does it really matter? All of the roads lead to the same place, and if you are going in the right direction, it doesn't matter what you are taking - a jet plane or a cart pulled by a donkey.”

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

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

“Sometimes people say, 'Walter, you are egocentric or narcissistic.' No matter how much money it costs, I always say, 'You have to be radiant. You have to be Walter.'”

“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.”

“I have always liked to speak to people very directly.”

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

“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.”

“Eliminate laws and dogmas that hinder the progress of the world and develop the heart in the form of compassion.”

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

“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.”

“When I was a child, I was very shy and insecure. My mother was very over protective of me. I was a dreamer.”

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