I love the song 'El Rey.' And for years, I never knew what the song was totally about. It was something new for me. I'd never sung a song in Spanish before. Then I got the translation and saw what a really cool song it was. ↗

I'd say three years ago we played in my hometown of San Antonio for 55,000 people at the Alamodome and walking out there with a crowd like that is just, you're excited, you're scared. There are just so many emotions going on. I still get nervous for things like that until after I sing about the first one or two songs, then I settle down. ↗

I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits, limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes. ↗

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ↗

It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness. ↗
