Fame means so little about somebody when you come right down to it.

From sixth grade on I was a real Pillsbury doughboy. Overweight, long hair, thick glasses.

I love just lying on the floor at home watching games with my dad. No pressures, just being me.

I'd worked with Mel Harris before, I love working with her, she's great.

I'm from a Cuban family, so we're used to talking really loud. You come to a Cuban restaurant anywhere in Miami, and we're practically screaming at each other.

Boxing is a family tradition. The last five generations down to my dad have been fighters.

Sometimes the father feels pushed out because of the connection between the mother and the child.

The older I grow the more I see the influence of my family on my life. I didn't always see it. It was up to our parents to see that we had our education in a town that hadn't yet realized what racial prejudice was but actually knew and practiced it on occasion.
