Singing in Spanish is much more honest, much closer to my roots. For me, Spanish is essential. I still think in Spanish, dream in Spanish. It's the melodies and arrangements that transmit meaning.

I'm not a salsa singer who wants to sing in English, and I'm not this American kid who wants to sing Spanish.

Sometimes when I have an idea, and I say, 'Okay, let's - it will be great, maybe, if I sing in English, a couple of songs.' Now, the record company and everybody's like, 'No way, you have to sing in Spanish.' And that's, you know, really good for me.

As a singer, it's basic to preserve what I like to do, which is music, and also to remember my cradlesongs in Spanish.

From a young age, I was encouraged to sing, dance and learn folk and popular songs in Spanish.

I would love to do film in Spanish.

It's like a dream to come to Spain and stay for a couple of years and get somebody to teach me Spanish music.

I would like to spend more time with Spanish poetry. I know French better than Spanish, but Spanish was my first language, and my father spoke it to us.

Originally, I thought English was more my home. But Spanish is so much more romantic. I've had to learn new phrases. I've had to learn to be more secure about singing in Spanish. But I'm working on it.

I would absolutely be down to do something in Spanish.
