Pre-game interview transcript, taken from the CBS
News site video, entitled: "Lydia Morales' Big
Guns."
 Lydia:
- "The kind of person that I am is... happy-go-lucky, um, life
is too short, so live to the fullest, and I enjoy talking with people,
meeting people. And I think I'm relatively shy, and I need to overcome
my shyness. So I guess that's one of the reasons why I'm here today."
- "I think it's time for me to live. I mean, I took care of my
parents when they were ill, for quite some time. And, uh, I raised my
son, and my son is 17 years old, and uh, I did a terrific job being
a Mom. So I thought to myself, when is it my turn to live? And I thought
this would be a perfect opportunity to put my foot forward, and start,
start anew for me. Start something challenging, finding myself. And
overcoming some of those obstacles. I think I can fit in very, very
well. Um, I think I have the personality, um, I love to help people.
I can suggest, uh, or... I'm gonna be one of those that's gonna be a
provider."
- "I think uh, people might look at me like, 'Oh, she's very small.'
I'm only 4'10", you know. I'm the smallest one in this group. But
I have that feisty, that go-get-them attitude. I have the determination,
that will inside me."
- "When people ask me what I'm bringing into this show, um, I'm
gonna say: my guns! [flexes biceps] Curly and Moe, or Cuff and Link!
[laughs]" |
