I could talk about him all day. He's the Mozart of Cuban music,
From then on, it was forever looking for a home. But there was never any real fire to make the movie within the system.
Everybody has a dream, and everybody knows people who have a dream that they don't want to share with anybody because they're too embarrassed to share.
I think it's most important for children to understand the concept of respect and manners and also work ethic. I have a responsibility to those who came before me.
You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.
