No child is bad from the beginning; he or she just imitates their atmosphere.
I hope to touch many Hearts through my music.
I always used to sing in the shower, but I never really got into the music until a friend of mine helped me a lot with recording.
I think behind every great man there’s got to be a great woman, whether she’s your wife, your girlfriend or not. I’m not gonna say that there’s not that special girl out there. But I’m in the music biz, and I’m focused on the music.
I always saw myself performing on stage and the girls yelling out my name.
Normal, day-to-day things inspire you to write. I try to travel and chill, and go out and enjoy the outdoors. That makes you see the real world. Not just in the studio or at concerts. I live it up as normal as I can.
I have fans from different cultures coming up to me saying that they don’t understand what I’m singing but that they like the music.
I was a teenager doing teenager things, and now I have the honor of being on tour with musical giants Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull. I’m doing my music and performing in my own concerts! It just goes to show that anything is possible with hard work.
I do want to give out a positive message and be successful.
I met people that I couldn’t talk to – they didn’t speak Spanish or English – but they knew my songs. That’s what I love, the music has gone past where I thought it would get to. That’s the power of music, how it can travel and break language barriers.
Disaster comes only because of ignorance.
Action takes precedence over study.
It’s not so much about form versus functionality. Rather, it’s about doing both and doing them a lot and doing them well-and that’s how we should be talking about architecture.
Public libraries are the last vestige of public free space.
It’s time for architecture to do things again, not just represent things.
I play to lift a city, and raise a banner.
If there’s a man on second, I’m trying to get him in with a base hit. The doubles and homers will come. Sooner or later they’ll go out naturally. I’m just trying not to do too much.
You’ve got to have some fun before games or you make the season too long. We don’t start work until seven o’clock. If you’re game-ready at three, it’s not good for you. This is the only way I know how to do it.
Coming up through high school, coaches would tell me not to swing so hard. It’s the only way I know. It just happens.
Miguel and Justin, the two biggest guys on the team, welcomed me right away and once the cool kids in school like you, it’s easy to get along.
Just because you’re big doesn’t mean you can’t be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn’t mean you’re going to have a 12-pack.
