I see Marti as a god for the greatness of his heart and his distinction between good vs. evil. He had the intelligence of 1,000 men in his one brain, ... I want to cross the streets he crossed. That's why I'm here. I can hear the steps of Marti.
My dad's a beautiful man, but like a lot of Mexican men, or men in general, a lot of men have a problem with the balance of masculinity and femininity - intuition and compassion and tenderness - and get overboard with the macho thing.

When I work with the youngsters, I try to see them in the way that Wayne Shorter sees me, ... It puts things in order. There is a respect and admiration I feel for people like Wayne or Herbie (Hancock). And there is a respect that people like Kirk (Hammett) feels for me. There is a respect that our children will feel for them also.
