I'll only stop singing when I'm in my grave.
Cubans are frantic when it comes to appreciating music.
When it comes to musicians, I'm like the daddy of musicians here in Cuba.
Young people don't want to be second to anyone. Everyone wants to be an overnight star. Look how many years I had to wait, how many roads I had to travel, how many songs I had to sing. And now I'm just beginning, never ending.
Everyone should have a philosophy for living better.
I don't sit in the corner waiting for death: death has to pursue me. I'm going strong. I hope to reach 100 and ask for an extension, just like my grandmother did.
