My life is nothing like my videos. I'm definitely not walking around with lots of hot women, as I am in my videos.

I never think about any of my accomplishments and I always get butterflies in my stomach and I never get too comfortable with the status.

I want to try different things but, most importantly, always be true to my roots and keep it organic. I'm never going to leave bachata behind. I'm always going to be a bachatero first.

Part of my success with urban bachata is reinventing yourself as an artist and continuing to give people different kind of fusions, mixing up the elements and concepts without changing the beat.

It's really sad for me that in the United States the Latino community is losing its culture and language, especially among kids born here - a lot of them can't even speak our language.

I try to transmit emotion and soul in my voice, but my true passion has always been writing. I feel more like a writer than anything else.

I really just compete against myself. I look at my previous material and try to surpass what I've done.

I want to touch people's lives with my music and my lyrics.

I'm not a vegetarian! I'm a dessertarian!

A dream is the reality of a future that exists in a person’s imagination.

We have great power to see the truth when the truth is all we wish to see; but what is easier than to credit what we desire? and can a man deceive anyone so easily as himself?

The whole world has gone back to something we are genetically engineered to do - communicating through symbols.

Maybe I am too traditional, but men feel important when you ask for their help instead of thinking you can do it all on your own.

We continued to move forward without loss of time, hoping to be able to reach the wood described by the Indians before all our horses should become exhausted.
