We've got a lot of pressure going. This is for my Latin counterpart.

This is what you work for, putting all the other crap that you hear aside. Just being able to participate in a World Series is pretty much everything. But you do want to win!

The ability to communicate with everybody, regardless of who are you are, is a great thing.

When somebody was looking in my locker, it was like going in my desk. Somebody happened to be looking in my locker when they shouldn't have been.

I'm pretty much the one that goes to the mound.

Bottom line is, you have to pitch. You want timely hits.

I's taken me a great deal to get here. I don't plan on missing anything.

As the daughter of immigrants, growing up in New York City, you are either at the table or on the menu.

The message of music was also the first thing what I learned from my first teacher. She was an organist too and she was very devoted to what she played, so she had a respect for every piece and she felt that she is not allowed to add something of her own.

There's an open door now more than ever to be making any type of beats that you want.

I've been in a lot of elections.

My family lives in Miami, and I always envision myself, if something happens, it'd be like 'The Day After Tomorrow' where I walk across country to find my family. That would be the kind of person I would be. I feel like I wouldn't be as scared. If it happens, it happens. You face it.

I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.
