On meeting Madonna:
“Antonio,’ Pedro said, ‘she would love to get to know you’. I couldn’t speak English at the time. She said a lot of things at the table when we were having dinner, I couldn’t understand shit. I was just flipping out that I was sitting down close to Madonna. She was very famous already, and we were just local people.
On turning down Madonna’s advances:
“…it was kind of flattering when somebody said, ‘She likes you, a lot’. I said, ‘Oh, really? I’ve no idea what I should do about this, I mean, I’m married [to his first wife, Ana Leza]. So, nothing happened.”I was afraid of it at the time, because she was a very powerful woman. I didn’t want to be Madonna’s boy. For good or for bad, I just wanted to have my own career.”
