"We handed out
Jesus pamphlets, mainly to young people, to get them off drugs, to get them
uncorrupted- that was the main goal. My
sister and I both sang. I played guitar. We were a cute duo-I was five and she
was three. I would talk over the microphone and say 'God Loves You' in Spanish.
'Hold my hand and I'll take you there.' And I really believed it... I grew up
totally cut off from the main world. I was really a different kid. I've been
around the movie business, so I can play it cool and all that, but when people
are different, they have that off thing about them. Their whole presence is
just a little innocent, I think.”
