“I know that youngsters want to find something in common with each other and feel closer to each other ideologically through bridges such as the Internet.”

I was pretty sad. But he was probably right; I did have a voice a bit like a goat, but my dad told me to never give up and to keep going, and it’s paid off.

Our generation faces many challenges, some of which were passed on to us by the past generations, but it’s up to us to find solutions today so that we don’t keep passing our problems on.

I feel as passionate as when I was 13 years old and just released my first album. I feel the same amount of adrenaline in my blood, and the same amount of curiosity as well. Curiosity about why I’m different.

A man’s car is like an extension of their ego and their manhood.

I just think that it’s very helpful to have a map of your psyche, because when you have a map, you know where to go.

People think I like to expose my body. But I don’t. It’s just because the dance moves require it.

I would sing anywhere they would invite me. That’s how I made my first pesos. I used to sing at beauty pageants, local events of every sort.

I feel comfortable in my pop shoes. They let me walk in any direction. I like to go from one extreme to the other. One day I feel that I want to do a song with reggaeton influence, I do it. The next day I feel I need to do a song with rock elements to it, I do it.

When you have a baby, when you feel his love, you feel so at peace with the world. You just want to share the good news and share how happy you feel.

All through my twenties, I spent more time worrying what I didn’t have than thinking about what I did have. I wished that I was taller, had longer legs, slimmer hips, a smaller bottom, even straighter hair.

I believe that every single one of us, celebrity or not, has a responsibility to get involved in trying to make a difference in the world.

Providing all Latin-American children with the education and early childhood development that they need is in the best interest of all, so it has to be a priority for all of us, not only the government and civil society, but also the business sector.

I love reading about history. Sometimes, I feel I was born in the wrong era. There was more creativity in the air when people were still discovering new worlds.

If the fastest growing population in this country is Latino, that means we are the future of this country. And, we have proven we have talent. Now we need the tools to succeed.

I think a fragrance is all about sensations and imagery, and can evoke visions, feelings and thoughts.

Songwriting is such an intricate part of me as an artist and as a person; I couldn’t just let someone else do it.

What’s the biggest compliment is if I read a review and it’s exactly what I wrote down in my diary before ever filming it. That’s really cool. That’s the biggest signifier of closing the gaps.

Were we closer to the ground as children, or is the grass emptier now?

The media insists on taking what someone didn’t mean to say as being far closer to the truth than what they did.

There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

So at the heart of all things is the germ of their overthrow; the closer you are to the heart, the closer to the reversal. Nowhere to go but down. You reach the core and then you’re blown away–

At first it seems as if begoing follows becoming. But look even closer and you will see that there are only flashes of lightning illuminating the empty sky.

I thought writing about somebody current would be a little closer to what I’m used to doing.

The closer the deadline, the more likely you’ll start thinking waaay outside the box.
