A lot of my past is gone from my mind.

I still have all the faith and love for my music and yet I'm still playing places for kids.

Puerto Rico has a stray dog problem. Tens of thousands of homeless canines - hundreds of thousands, by some estimates - live and die on the streets and beaches all over this Caribbean island of almost four million people.

The first kiss between two people is something really good in life.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

I'm totally committed to the cause of individuality. That's the only thing I stand by: independence.

I listen to NPR and baseball games when I'm in my car. I mean, exclusively NPR and baseball games, and that's it, as far as the radio.
