There hasn’t been one moment in my career where I felt I didn’t have any control over the creative aspects of my records.
I care about politics just like any other citizen. I’m against the war in Iraq, or any type of war.
My motivations are thinking I can write better songs, that the concerts can be better.
I don’t care what people say. My music’s, my music.
I don’t sleep much. It takes me a long time to fall asleep. I’m a bit of an insomniac but, when I fall asleep, I don’t ever want to wake up.
The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn’t stay away from it any longer.
I really want to fall in love.
The way I look at it, I’d rather make my own mistakes than have people make them for me.
The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It’s always been the same, but it’s far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people; before, they were run by creative people.
I mean, I do consider that my music is pop because Ive been influenced by pop music my whole life; I grew up in the States and 80s pop music was my biggest influence.
I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.
If you come from Spain, you have to play football.
The one thing about music is that there are no rules.
It surprises me what the girls are capable of doing for me.
My grandfather’s 86 and he’s having a baby. Man, I hope when I’m 86 I can have babies.
Yes, I have made a woman cry.
As an artist, I’ve been very fortunate.
Realistically, English is a universal language; it’s the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.
My best personality trait that I think I’m very approachable. And my worst is that I can be moody.
There are days that I wake up and I complain, and when I complain I pinch myself and say, ‘that’s for complaining.’ Not many people can do what they really like in life.
In school, kids never really looked at me a different way because I think it was a different generation; they didnt really know who my father was.
