I think everybody don't know what color I am. It's like, "He's not black enough. He's not white enough. He's got a Latin last name but he doesn't have - he doesn't speak Spanish. Who are we selling this to? Are you making urban music? Are you making pop music? What kind of music are you making?"

I guess if I'm a product, either you're chocolate, you're vanilla or you're butterscotch. You can't be all three.

I definitely don't plead guilty to being a heartthrob.

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I've done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it's nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.

A grown man should always carry cash, right? I don't know who told me, but someone told me that a long time ago, and the biggest turnoff is when a guy doesn't have cash on him.

Oh every time I close my eyes I see my name in shining lights

I'm a big fan of the young 1950s Elvis when he would just go onstage and control the whole environment.
