Anybody can be a role model, anybody can.

I think I'm a very kindhearted person, I don't like to hurt people's feelings. If I do, it's not intentionally and I feel a lot of people nowadays have lost that.

I'm very real, very sincere and honest, and that's how I'll always be.

Anywhere in the world you go, you find racism, discrimination. Not just in the United States, or in Texas. It's very sad for me, but that's the way it is. I can't change the world by myself. I, being Hispanic, have also faced discrimination. But … the world keeps turning.

When you get hard work you get success, and we put a lot of years into it.

The reason I'm really appreciative of everything that's going on around me is because of the fact that I never expected it, and I want to keep that attitude.

All this is a dream to me. Everything, the applause, the fans asking for autographs, the trips, all that is a dream.
