I can honestly say from my experience, my family and I had to start from scratch. We left Venezuela back in 1998 and sold the few things we had to come to America in search of the American dream. We went through really tough times. There were moments where we were wondering are we going to make it.

There comes a time in your life where you're called to not only reinvent yourself but to rebuild your spirit. It's so relevant today.

My dad had a couple of professions in mind for me. He either wanted me to be a doctor because he said male doctors make a lot of money, or he wanted me to be a soccer player. Myself, I thought that I would really love being a pilot for the Air Force. I really wanted to be a part of the Air Force.

The sex with Mandy was good, but it wasn't like warm apple pie.

When things get dark, they're going to get darker, and at that very moment, that's when you hang on that much tighter because that's when salvation and light come.

I got hit twice in the face, and that was not fun.

No matter what our situation is, there's always a way to celebrate life and there's always a way to start again.
