Part of my success with urban bachata is reinventing yourself as an artist and continuing to give people different kind of fusions, mixing up the elements and concepts without changing the beat.

I never think about any of my accomplishments and I always get butterflies in my stomach and I never get too comfortable with the status.

I want to try different things but, most importantly, always be true to my roots and keep it organic. I'm never going to leave bachata behind. I'm always going to be a bachatero first.

It's really sad for me that in the United States the Latino community is losing its culture and language, especially among kids born here - a lot of them can't even speak our language.

I try to transmit emotion and soul in my voice, but my true passion has always been writing. I feel more like a writer than anything else.

I've been able to perform in front of thousands of people on stage in a character that's nothing like me. I'm very shy.

I really just compete against myself. I look at my previous material and try to surpass what I've done.

My life is nothing like my videos. I'm definitely not walking around with lots of hot women, as I am in my videos.

I want to touch people's lives with my music and my lyrics.

All that a child needs is great love.

I think it's cool to be a rock star I don't think there are many. There aren't many who speak out and take risks. And I think that's important.

When I'm in the car, I want the only one shouting to be me.

As a younger actor coming up, I wanted to be in films. There's something special about being on film sets; there's an excitement; the people in every department are passionate about what they do.

Where love rules, laws are not needed.

Surely the world we live in is but the world that lives in us.

An individual gospel without a social gospel is a soul without a body and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. One is a ghost, the other a corpse.

America needs to be a lot more like the Waltons and a lot less like The Simpsons.

I think most people know inherently that good wins.

The history of harmony is the history of the development of the human ear, which has gradually assimilated, in their natural order, the successive intervals of the harmonic series.
