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.

My inspiration is always what I think my fans want to listen to. I often write about social problems. If I'm not going through it or I haven't gone through it, I want to make sure it touches someone. That's what I base my music on.

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.

Being a mother by far is my favorite and most important career.

Thank you for accepting me as I am, with my virtues and defects.

Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do.
