I think in general I've never dared compose in Spanish. First of all, it is such an intricate language.

My mum always told me 95 per cent of success was partnering well.

I come from a pop background, but I'm also a Puerto Rican and I do feel this music. My approach to salsa is a humble one, and I defy anybody to prove that I'm faking it.

What Jennifer Lopez puts out, it's not Latin music.

What you see is what you get. My God, I don't have the time nor the energy to live up to some persona.

Being Puerto Rican, born and raised on the streets of New York, you go, 'Wow, you're still friends with your ex, man? Really? That's weird.' I don't play that.

I have always said that your work stays with you for a long time, and I try to get involved in projects where I truly believe if I had to do them again, I would the same way.
