Camacho has stated that some of her aphorisms are inspired by "how ordinary people speak, those who know nothing about language and, what's more, believe they can't explain themselves and yet they explain themselves better than anyone else, they possess a powder keg of economy of language, poetry, freedom, rhythm, workmanship, in short, effectiveness".
