I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.Collection: Music
The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer.Collection: Music
I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned.Collection: Thankful
I always respect a woman.Collection: Respect
I am really passionate about sports in general - especially water sports.Collection: Sports

I care about politics just like any other citizen. I'm against the war in Iraq, or any type of war.Collection: Politics
I don't like being lied to, so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies, basically.
My best personality trait that I think I'm very approachable. And my worst is that I can be moody.
If you come from Spain, you have to play football.
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.
My motivations are thinking I can write better songs, that the concerts can be better.
The way I look at it, I'd rather make my own mistakes than have people make them for me.
And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.
I'm so proud of who I am and where I come from and who my father is.
Being anxious is the worst feeling in the world.
I don't care what people say. My music's, my music.
I'm a good person, but with many defects.
We all feel love, and that might sound kind of corny, but I really feel that's what joins musicians together around the world.
I was happier before, when I lead a normal life.
I've worked a lot during the night. But I don't sleep in the day either.
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.
I prefer love over sex.
When I'm in love, I wake up happy.
Love is one of my main inspirations.
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.
If you're buying an album because of the face on it, you're stupid.
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 mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.
Yes, I have made a woman cry.
I really want to fall in love.
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.
Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.
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.
As an artist, I've been very fortunate.
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.
I'm quite grounded.
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 go from English to Spanish, and I feel I have some cool songs.
My tennis skills are okay.

It was good, it was bad. But it was real, and that's all you have.Collection: Philosophy
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.Collection: Drama

I'm not a heartthrob. I hate that word.Collection: Hate
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.Collection: Song
