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 wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned.

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.

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.

Really, the F word in a song - it should be the least of the worries of parents these days.

The way I look at it, I'd rather make my own mistakes than have people make them for me.

I go from English to Spanish, and I feel I have some cool songs.
