I think the first role models you should have are the people who are raising you.

And if they're not good role models, then you look outside.

I've chosen my queen, Celia Cruz.

She was Cuban.

She was a teacher originally and also wanted to sing.

And her parents, who were very strict, said, no, no, no, no, no.

If you go into performing, if you become a singer, you can never come home again.

And unfortunately...

The revolution happened almost simultaneously as her going out as a singer and she never got to go home.

So I revere her because she stood for who she was.

She knew that she had to do her art.

And this is the truth.

The price for...

doing you can sometimes be very, very, very high.

And also, I love Latin music.

I love to dance.

I love that you're talking with this very calm voice.

Nobody knew you were in here just dancing.

You're behind off too.

Oh, friendships and relationships and things that end in ships.
