“Steve? I know him very well, probably better than he knows himself. He’s a very good friend of mine, and believe me, I have many, many friends, more friends than anybody could ever have. Some friends are good, some friends are bad, but Steve? He’s almost as much of a friend to me as I am. You know, I hear a lot of people saying, “they’re probably not even friends.” Well, I got news for you people, he’s a tremendous friend of mine, okay? We get along very well. Unbelievably, in fact, believe me. What can I say, the Latinos love me - probably more than anybody has ever loved anybody in the history of the world. When I heard he was asking for endorsements, I said, ‘Steve, one endorsement from me and you’ll go right to the top, you’ll be the next Ricky Ricardo.’ Look, frankly, I have a lot of great respect for Steve. He is a tremendous musician and, frankly, so am I.”
