My mother never let on that anything was wrong. She kept her chin up and acted as if everything were just fine. So we did too.

Malandrinas' means 'bad girls,' but not bad in a negative way. I wrote it in homage to my female fans.

Mexican music runs through my veins. I loved it. Growing up, my father didn't allow us to listen to English music at home. That's all I heard. I had no choice.

It doesn't bother me at all that some people think I am too outspoken.

Whenever I took a step forward, it seemed as though life was pushing me five steps back.

Usually, when a young girl is pregnant, she drops out of school and concentrates on being a mother. I thought thats what I had to do, but my counselors told me there was no way they would let me drop out. I had too much promise.

No one else has ever opened doors for me - I opened them myself.
