Angie Martinez

After you date a player or two it's nice to just chill with a guy that can keep it basic.

I ran into Snoop one night. I was in the studio later, and I got this beat and thought he would sound great on it. I called him and he came right through that night.

I might like somebody, and have to go interview somebody that hates them, but I still have to be fair.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

It is always fragile, being a parent.

Whenever I write about immigration, I hear heart-wrenching stories of computer workers who are unemployed and facing severe hardship.
