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

“I say it every day - I'm the luckiest man on earth.”

“Be quiet, or my wife will take away your first born and make him or her work in one of her sweatshops!”

“I'm a huge sports fan.”

“I'm not a traditional sonero, at least not in the way they want me to be, I'm an interpreter, and I reach people in a different level.”

“'Livin' la Vida Loca' is not Latin music. It does not represent Latin music.”

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

“Fame is addictive. Money is addictive. Attention is addictive. But golf is second to none.”

“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.”

“My thing is music, period.”

“If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.”

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

“I just want to sing, I want to work on my music, I want to make my movies, that's all I want to do.”
