Puerto Rican culture is very lively; very lively people; very warm people; and the food is really great. We're all about cooking a lot of food and having family around, we're kind of loud. It's that sort of vibe and it's great.

I don't call myself Latin, I call myself Puerto Rican.

The first Latin music that blew my mind was bumba, which was a Puerto Rican beat.

I'm not messing with skiing. You can't get this Puerto Rican on the slope. Uh-uh.

I know Spanish pretty well. I'm half-Puerto Rican - my mom is from Puerto Rico - so I have a lot of family there, and my mom's first language is Spanish. But growing up in the States, and with my dad being from the States, I'm kind of just like this white kid.

What was the competition? Well, I remember this Puerto Rican who came out in a short skirt and a gun.
