When I was a little boy, my dream was to play baseball and leave Cuba.

The women I love most are Latina - my sister, mother, and daughter. They're spontaneous but spend a majority of their time trying to make others happy.

I have lots of girlfriends - all over the country! You think I'm kidding? I'm dead serious. Girlfriends everywhere.

I try to give my kids everything I never had.

In Cuba you get a quarter of a chicken per month. They give you one bread per person a day. So, it makes your life really tough.

The relationship I have with my kids is beautiful.

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

Whether I'm single or in a relationship, I'm the same person. The same human being.

Don’t carry your ideas to the grave untouched.

People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.

Tell no lies' claim no easy victories

I don't have any shame.

I sound like a damn commercial, but half the crap in this house is from Wal-mart. The big deal about Wal-mart is that its open 24 hours.

Home is wherever we all are together.

I worked at a group home for a survival job years ago, and kids who have a rough home life have always tugged at my heart-strings. I also care a lot about animal cruelty.

Science is not there for you to cherry pick ... You can decide whether or not to believe in it but that doesn’t change the reality of an emergent scientific truth.

There is no idea so bad that it cannot be made to look brilliant with the proper application of fonts and color.

Be as thou wast wont to be. See as thou wast wont to see.
