I am at my core a singer/songwriter a la James Taylor or a la Billy Joel. It's not that I don't want to work with people, but I do just love doing my own thing.

A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.

There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.

I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart.

It doesn't matter the genre or type of art, if it's authentic there's an apparent beauty to it and as an artist, that's very inspiring.

I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.

When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.

I was a nerd academically. But I was also an athlete and a musician. I never wanted to be shut out of any situation. I think it was that more than anything.

The depth of your network is more important than its length

The quality of a person’s life is determined by how obedient he is to the Word of God.

Solitude is independence.

In the name of the United States and President Bush, I want to thank the Mexican people, President Fox and his government for their friendship.

Money goes to money heaven, body goes to body hell.

Our wine is bitter, but it is our wine.

There are two sides of me, the bachata/tropical Latin side and the English pop as well. They're both equally important, so I'll always make sure to keep both roots in my music.

When you're dealing with subjective matters, there's no wrong or right answer, it's just, "What do we think is best for the show?"

I think of Mike Myers as the Buster Keaton of today. I think he's brought us something so special.

The light which shines in the eye is really the light of the heart.
