Getting caught masturbating sucks. I got caught masturbating in jail 7 or 8 times, it really sucks.
And when you feel the heat, the world is at your feet.
These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed.
I'm like a shark, right at the top of the food chain. I take what I want, when I want. I truly am the reflection of perfection.
Life is like a great teacher..... she will repeat the lesson until you learn.
Buddha's teaching are very simple, you don't have to break your head to understand the message. The part that I like the most from Buddha's teachings and from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, is that the most powerful weapon is to not attack, to be able to have self-control.
Everything they do, from smiling to crying, feels like a blessing. Being a father feels amazing. This has been the most spiritual moment in my life.
I am convinced that music, like philanthropy, bridges hope.

A lot of people say, 'Wow, you're a single father of twin boys, that's crazy!' Two toddlers can get hectic, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Every day they teach me different things. The love is there. When you have a two-year-old saying every other hour, 'Papi, te amo. Papi, I love you,' it can't get better.
