I don't want anything from Cuba. I want them to be free and enjoy the things I enjoy.

Love is a constant source of inspiration, surprise, and wonderment.

When I write a song it's always from the point of view: makes the song the best it can be.

Music has been one of the most beautiful things in my life and will always be a very big part of who I am and what I do.

Love you all the time, 'cause when I close my eyes, I still can see your smile, it's bright enough to light my life

It's not so much for me where you come from, who you are, what race you are. We're just human beings that are still a work in progress and there's a lot that we've got to overcome, so that we can all be equal.

There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and Ive always looked at life that way; Ive always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that Ive gone through.
