Enrique Iglesias

“I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.”

“I love what I do, and I think I've appreciated it more throughout the years, but just to keep on traveling, keep on doing shows, and hopefully making better albums. That's always my goal.”

“If you come from Spain, you have to play football.”

“There are days that I wake up and I complain, and when I complain I pinch myself and say, 'that's for complaining.' Not many people can do what they really like in life.”

“I don't sleep much. It takes me a long time to fall asleep. I'm a bit of an insomniac but, when I fall asleep, I don't ever want to wake up.”

“There hasn't been one moment in my career where I felt I didn't have any control over the creative aspects of my records.”

“Love is one of my main inspirations.”

“As an artist, I've been very fortunate.”

“The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It's always been the same, but it's far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people; before, they were run by creative people.”

“My motivations are thinking I can write better songs, that the concerts can be better.”

“The way I look at it, I'd rather make my own mistakes than have people make them for me.”

“I really want to fall in love.”

“If they would have told me when I was just 18 that I was going to have a career that would last so long, I'd have said it was impossible, that it was crazy that that could happen in my life, so I'm happy to be here. To be able to go out on stage every day.”

“Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.”

“I was happier before, when I lead a normal life.”

“We all feel love, and that might sound kind of corny, but I really feel that's what joins musicians together around the world.”

“I care about politics just like any other citizen. I'm against the war in Iraq, or any type of war.”

“I go from English to Spanish, and I feel I have some cool songs.”

“And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.”

“I don't like being lied to, so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies, basically.”
