“My dad left when I was a little boy and I grew up with my mother’s family. There were foundations in the U.S. where Jewish people got together and sent money to Cuba, so we got some of that. We were a poor family, but I was always a happy kid.”
“The relationship I have with my kids is beautiful.”
“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 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.”
“Whether I’m single or in a relationship, I’m the same person. The same human being.”
“When I was a little boy, my dream was to play baseball and leave Cuba.”
“When I was back in Cuba, who could have imagined I would be invited to the White House!”
