[Doing a bilingual album] helped artistically because whenever I got bored of writing in English, I would write in Spanish. It's always cool when you have the choice.
When theres love theres good sex.
Be who you are, not who the world wants you to be.
And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.
The one thing I've learned in the last ten years is that successful artists don't get paid to write and sing songs, they get paid for the psychological roller coaster they're going to have to ride. That's the hard work.
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.
Actually, I never tell for whom my songs are written. It's a kind of superstition! I started writing songs for not having the courage to say certain things in people's faces and started to put these feelings on paper... Over the years, became a mania and then I never talk about for whom they are made.
You should do whatever language you feel is the perfect language for you to sing in and then try to strive to do the best.

The Backstreet Boys....they really do have good music!
Sex and Love are two words that anyone can relate to, no matter the nationality or age.
Really, the F word in a song - it should be the least of the worries of parents these days.
Oh, you know record companies. . . at the end of the day, it's business. If you analyse it, you're just a piece of meat. The minute you go bad, it's: 'Next!'.
Normally I don't listen to my songs. I hear when I'm in the process of creation, of course, but not when I come home, for example, and I listen my album, and this is different.
My relationships have been well publicised in the past but I am just a normal guy, really.
My grandfather's 86 and he's having a baby. Man, I hope when I'm 86 I can have babies.
It was good, it was bad. But it was real, and that's all you have.
It surprises me what the girls are capable of doing for me.
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.

I want to thank my fans for their support and love all these years, thank you Miami. Thank you Latin America. Thank you Mexico. Thank you world !
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 had a normal childhood. There were women, but it wasn't like Hefner's Playboy Mansion. If it was, I'd still be living at home!
A bet is a bet and I always keep my word in the bet what I do.
Yes, I have made a woman cry.
Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that's always going to change, and love is never going to change.
When I'm in love, I wake up happy.
We all feel love, and that might sound kind of corny, but I really feel that's what joins musicians together around the world.
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.
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.
The way I look at it, I'd rather make my own mistakes than have people make them for me.
The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer.
Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.
My tennis skills are okay.
My motivations are thinking I can write better songs, that the concerts can be better.
My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness.

Love is one of my main inspirations.
If you're buying an album because of the face on it, you're stupid.

I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.
I love what I do, and I think I've appreciated it more throughout the years, but just to keep on traveling, keep on doing shows, and hopefully making better albums. That's always my goal.
I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.
I go from English to Spanish, and I feel I have some cool songs.
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.
I don't like being lied to, so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies, basically.

I am really passionate about sports in general - especially water sports.

Being anxious is the worst feeling in the world.
As an artist, I've been very fortunate.
If they would have told me when I was just 18 that I was going to have a career that would last so long, I'd have said it was impossible, that it was crazy that that could happen in my life, so I'm happy to be here. To be able to go out on stage every day.
First of all, I'm not a heartthrob. If you saw me in high school, you wouldn't say I'm a heartthrob. Having a hit song, the minute you're famous, you're a heartthrob. I know you don't believe me, but I honestly don't consider myself a heartthrob.
I believe in the institution loyalty and love, to stay with someone in good and hard times. I don't think a piece of paper or anything else can force you to do that. For many people get marry is super important, for me, the important thing is finding someone.
I want to clarify it: I'm not against marriage, marriage is great if you want to get married. A lot of my friends are happily married. I don't think walking down the aisle and [having] a legal document can make a difference. That doesn't mean you love someone more or you respect them more - you can be with someone perfectly well without being married.
I'm not against marriage, but I think it is not as important to me as it is for other people, for example. I think getting married would not change the way I feel about my girlfriend... And I don't know if that would make me happier.
One person cannot change the world. But you can become the world for someone. A warm, bright, and peaceful world. If everyone can be such a world to one person, one will become ten people, and then a hundred. The world will be full of happy people then.
