There were moments growing up where I felt beautiful, but I truly didn't feel beautiful all of the time until I became a mom. It really allowed me to realize no one is perfect.

The kitchen was the center of our household. I spent all of my time there growing up.

I started preparing meals for my family when I was 12 because both of my parents worked, but I didn't know that it was something I could make a career out of until I had my daughter and realized there were people out there who were interested in learning how to prepare a quick meal.

I prayed about it consistently - that God would direct me in the right path and that, when it would happen, I would know that I'm in the right place.

When you become a mother, it's a common thing that you just want to put every ounce of your being into your child, which is a very beautiful experience.

I think Romeo and Juliet is uplifting. That's how much a son wishes to avenge his father. That is how much two young people can love each other.

Oh, my wife is a wonderful cook. She comes from a food-loving Italian family - her father owned a pizzeria!

I made good friends at all the teams I played for, but with the national team, we created a family. It was during years when we won many trophies, and we have a special relationship because of that. Together - Pepe, Torres, me, and others - we have something.
