If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.

I think in general I've never dared compose in Spanish. First of all, it is such an intricate language.

I have always said that your work stays with you for a long time, and I try to get involved in projects where I truly believe if I had to do them again, I would the same way.

I say it every day - I'm the luckiest man on earth

I'm a huge sports fan.

What Jennifer Lopez puts out, it's not Latin music.

Celebrity watching and speculation is almost like a sport.

It's still hard for me to understand, what is to me, the morbid fascination with celebrity. I just want to sing, I want to work on my music, I want to make my movies, that's all I want to do. I understand, you know, the interest but I really don't understand the fascination with it.

I'm not a salsa singer who wants to sing in English, and I'm not this American kid who wants to sing Spanish.

My family, my fans and yes, romance is always there in one way or another. Life is full of these emotions and I have always found pleasure in incorporating them into my music.

I come from a pop background, but I'm also a Puerto Rican and I do feel this music. My approach to salsa is a humble one, and I defy anybody to prove that I'm faking it.

First you date the songs, and then you get engaged and then you marry them. They have to stand the test of time, because they are going to be yours for the next 20, 30, 40 years. So you had better choose right.

What you see is what you get. My God, I don't have the time nor the energy to live up to some persona.

My mum always told me 95 per cent of success was partnering well.
