A Quote by Benicio Del Toro

To reconcile conflicting parties, we must have the ability to understand the suffering of both sides. If we take sides, it is impossible to do the work of reconciliation. And humans want to take sides. That is why the situation gets worse and worse. Are there people who are still available to both sides? They need not do much.

This is our chance for peace. But how many of us are able to do that?

I guess I prefer to play live, but I don't want to have only live CDs. I like playing live because there are alot of things that can happen. I can interact with the audience and say some things to get me in trouble.

But nothing beats being up on stage in front of all that energy.
I don't want you to look at my skin and think "white" or look at my heritage and think "Mexican." I want you to look at me and see me as a human being, and hopefully, we can get past all of this other stuff.

We like the ambiance and atmosphere, and we felt really early that...

We want to be able to give a chance to a song, and to spend a lot of time in the studio.
