I was happy (Monday) because I think I was probably the only Hispanic that got an award. For me that meant a lot.

You're not thinking about if it is a gay relationship or a straight relationship. You're thinking about a heartbreaking situation.

I have produced all kinds of music because I love all kinds of music.
love-is brokeback-mountain proud
I'm so proud to have worked in this movie, Brokeback Mountain, a movie that once again showed us that love is what makes us all very similar in spite that that we can be so different too.
song writing important
Actually, my first group was a folkloric group, an Argentine folkloric group when I was 10. By the time I was 11 or 12 I started writing songs in English. And then after a while of writing these songs in English it came to me that there was no reason for me to sing in English because I lived in Argentina and also there was something important [about Spanish], so I started writing in Spanish.
