Walter Mercado

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

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

I will never retire. I'm going to die with my boots on.

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

Walter is a force of nature, without beginnings and endings.

Love is the reason to live.

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

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 am born every day and make my debut every day. Others pile on the years.

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

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

For me, it's quite important, my inner being, my - in my work, if I can give a person a little encouragement, a little warm hand in a moment that they really need me.

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 want to look alluring.

I want to look beautiful.

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.

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 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.

I have always been very conscious of my way of dressing. During my years as a ballet and flamenco dancer, I outshone everybody with my embellished and beautiful clothes. The designers who created my clothing loved making outfits that were extravagant and out of this world.

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