We used to get published a lot. And there was this vodka advertisement... it embarrassed me a lot afterwards.

I'm not against vodka - they just asked us. They put out some story about us entertaining international celebrities with vodka, which of course wasn't true.

I used to be so embarrassed by salsa; I wasn't into it.

I think it's really important to use your hands and get close to materials. To be up close to real things like rain and mud; to have contact with nature.

Baseball is not a lot of statistics to me. It's blood and tears.

My mother used to take my brother and me to get any books we wanted, but they were second hand books published in the '30s and '40s. I liked scary books.
