I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.

I can't even speak Hawaiian, but if you go there and listen to a Hawaiian song, you get captured because it's so beautiful, like the melody is just gorgeous and you know Bob Marley is on the radio every single day. It's very reggae-influenced down there. Basically, you haven't been to paradise if you haven't been to Hawaii.

Everyone calls me Bruno; they don't ever call me Peter - that was just my government name.

I want people to think of Hawaii and think of palm trees and magical islands and Bruno Mars.

I'd like to talk to Bob Marley. I'd just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever. I don't know if people understand how powerful his songs are and the simplicity and genius behind them.

I signed up to be a musician, I want to perform, I want to sing.

I am so proud and so happy to be Filipino.
