When I went to do Carson that night, they wanted us to do two songs, but we were a brand new band. Conga hadn't even hit the top 10 yet. They go, Do you think you could do something that people know, because we want you to do a second song, but not two originals, because we don't want to lose the audience, just in case.

Having felt people's love and support first hand through difficult moments in my life makes me feel it's our responsibility to help one another.

I think we should all live the moment. But you also have to think ahead. You have to think, 'Am I going to be happy with this five, ten years from now? Is it going to let me evolve and grow, or am I going to grow to one day wish I had never done it?' Sometimes you just have to think a little bit ahead.

Well first of all, I'm a singer. I sing since I talk. So the great ballad singers, the people that sang with so much feeling, jazz, blues, all those singers, they were songs that I listened to, records that my mom played for me, and then later I bought.

My son traveled the world with me on every tour. He wasn't a lover of school, so it was easy with him. I had a tutor on the road, keep him at the same level, so when he'd pop back home he'd go right back in.

When you are happy it is harder to write [songs].
Gloria Estefan

My favorite process is writing, from day one. The songs I have written throughout the years were a real great opportunity for me to communicate, because I think tha'ts my prime objective on this planet.
