Hawaiian to me is a feeling of getting somewhere, without stepping on anybodys toes, without causing friction with anybody.

Be strong, know who you are, no be shame, stand up, e ala e.

I guess this is gonna sound kind of weird, but I'm not scared for myself for dying. Because I believe all these places are temporary. This is just one shell. Because we Hawaiians live in both worlds.

I was scared when I lost my mother, my father, my brother, my sister.

Don't come closer to me at any time without make-up. I may slap and make you feel the taste of death.

I like being the underdog so they don't expect what's going to happen. It pushes me to work harder and do the things I'm not doing better.

The world, I think, has too many late-night talk shows.

I'm very collaborative with everybody on the set.

When I was back in Cuba, who could have imagined I would be invited to the White House!
