First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.

Real music lovers are actually my favourite kind of people because they like to know, rather than just be told what to think.

I don't care what people say about my relationship; I don't care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs; I have a sold-out tour. I'm getting incredible feedback from my music.

Music makes the people come together.

It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.

I think the music reflects the state that society's in. It doesn't suggest the state. I think poets, musicians, artists or whatever they are of the age, not only do they lead that age on but they reflect the age. And I think that's what the pop music is doing-it's mainly reflecting.
