I am a very spiritual person. Maybe not traditionally religious in terms of Sunday Mass every week, that sort of thing.

You can only stay connected if you feel connected.

I was a keen observer and listener. I picked up on clues. I figured things out logically, and I enjoyed puzzles. I loved the clear, focused feeling that came when I concentrated on solving a problem and everything else faded out.

I hope in my book [My Beloved World], that the sense that I really feel connected comes through.

I was aware that my nomination was drawing a lot of attention, particularly in the Latino world, not just in Puerto Rico. It was touching.

It's not the heart that compels conclusions in cases, it's the law.
