I was onstage with Menudo since I was 12 years old. To us, the most successful one was the guy with the most fans. If you moved your hips and the girls screamed, you were getting it right. Who wouldn't want to be like Elvis or Jim Morrison!

I don't want to dream anymore, I want my life to be real!

I have been a victim of stereotypes. I come from Latin America and to some countries, we are considered 'losers,' drug traffickers, and that is not fair because that is generalizing.

These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed.

I used to look at gay men and think, 'I'm not like that, I don't want to be like that, that's not me.'

Everyday begins like a blank chalkboard, on which each one of us can write the poem of our present and our dreams for the future.

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
