A prince is a male ruler, monarch, or member of a monarch's or former monarch's family. Prince is also a hereditary title in the nobility of some European states.

I feel blessed to even be able to put out an English album. Not too many Latin artists get the opportunity to come out and record another genre that's so different to Bachata.
I don't think we are late to the party. I would already have liked to do it.
However, I have a plan to play Warne's deliveries and I'm keeping things simple.
I do have some understanding I think, a little, of what people go through with these horrors.
I don't like to read reviews. Even the good ones you start to analyze: 'Oh, did I do that? I have to make sure I do that again.
I never like to be the same, whether it be comedy or drama, funny or serious.
I'm from the South, so I tend to tell stories. That's how we express ourselves.
My happiest times in the theater are when I do ensemble pieces. I really got into theater because of that closeness.
Being funny is a symptom of what's underneath. You're pumping out all that energy because something else is going on inside you, some opposing force, something uncomfortable.
Half of me is this wacked-out comedienne who will do anything for a buck and a laugh. Well, at least for a laugh. But the other half is a lot darker, sadder and more pensive. It's the dark side that feeds the outrageousness and allows it to surface. I think that's true for anyone with comic flair.
I know I always had a lot of energy growing up and I had to put it somewhere. Theater allowed me to really feel things, to laugh, to cry, to explode outward. I could do anything and it was totally accepted and appreciated. If I hadn't gone into the theater, I probably would have been a psychotic killer.
I'll tell you something: my dad was a nuclear engineer and he was really bright, and I've always said that because of negotiating at such a young age with my dad, it was really such a gift because I could then negotiate with very difficult personalities - and not end up being the scapegoat. I learned to really pick and choose my battles.
All I can say is that I've always felt like a very old soul. When I was 3, I felt 60.
For the first time in this country, not only innocent people have been killed by public forces but Buddhist monks ... have been beaten and have been assassinated.
