[when asked by Don Francisco if she was going to keep singing] Yes. I think that's what my husband, who is in Heaven, will like: that I continue with Toño [Antonio Aguilar hijo]. That is what he wanted all his life: to take Mexican music wherever you can, to the small villages, to the cities... Until God decides that I no longer be here, but in the meantime, yes, I will continue with Toño. I wanted to go fast behind him [Antonio], but God's will be done.

[on the Aguilar family's international rodeo show, in which she performed with late husband, Antonio Aguilar, and their two children, Antonio Aguilar hijo and Pepe Aguilar] The four of us. It was a very nice clan. We were the four musketeers always everywhere.

[her acceptance speech, when Ignacio López Tarso presented her with the Diosa de Plata Lifetime Achievement Award] For me it is a great honor and even more so because this great man gives it to me. I dedicate this Diosa to you, children, to my five children [Dalia Inés, Marcela Rubiales, Francisco Rubiales, Antonio Aguilar hijo, and Pepe Aguilar] and to that man who made me so happy for 52 years, who is in Heaven seeing us right now: Mr. Antonio Aguilar Barraza.

I have been singing ever since I was eight years old. My father would make me sing because he would hear my songs, and I would learn old songs completely.

[on her stage name] In those days they were screening the film Flor silvestre (1943), starring Dolores Del Río. That is how they named me Flor Silvestre.
