Hate is contagious. A few seconds after Donald Trump has told me something hateful, somebody else repeats it. He has legitimized what people only dare say in their kitchens and bedrooms.

My only advice is, follow your dream and do whatever you like to do the most. I chose journalism because I wanted to be in the places where history was being made.

The United States gave me opportunities that my country of origin could not: freedom of the press and complete freedom of expression.

Sometimes you have to ask the question as if it's going to be your last question - as if it's going to be the last time you talk to that person.

I sent Trump a handwritten note requesting an interview with my cell-phone number in it. That was a huge mistake. You should never, ever give your cell-phone number to Donald Trump. You know what he did with it? He put it on the Internet.

The most important responsibility we have as journalists is to question those who are in power. I honestly believe that.

Happiness for me is the people whom you love, love you back.

The Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci used to say that for her, an interview was like a war. I get the sense that we've forgotten that here in the United States. You turn on the TV, and you see very bland interviews. Journalists in the United States are very cozy with power, very close to those in power.

As journalists, we cannot swallow the official line without question. We should challenge almost everything that dictators, presidents and officials say.

What I find most interesting about the U.S. is this idea of equality.

Neutrality is for referees in a football game. You have to take a stand. The really, really good journalists always take a stand with those who have no power, with those who have no rights, and with those who have no voice.

I don't think I win most interviews. For instance, with Fidel Castro, I only spoke with him one minute and three seconds. But I think he won because I couldn't get anything from him. With the former president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, it happened exactly the same thing.

I will go to a nice restaurant in Miami, and no one sitting at the tables will notice me or even know who I am. Then everyone in the kitchen comes out and wants to take a picture.

When you talk to a Latin American president, they make you feel so tiny right from the beginning, right from the moment when they shake your hands.

The new rule in American politics is that no one can make it to the White House without the Hispanic vote.

Trump seems to think he can win the White House with only the white vote. I believe that the only way to win the White House is with the Latino vote. If the Republican candidate cannot get 33 percent of it, he cannot win the White House.
