My motivations are thinking I can write better songs, that the concerts can be better.
I want to thank my fans for their support and love all these years, thank you Miami. Thank you Latin America. Thank you Mexico. Thank you world !
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.
Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that's always going to change, and love is never going to change.
First of all, I'm not a heartthrob. If you saw me in high school, you wouldn't say I'm a heartthrob. Having a hit song, the minute you're famous, you're a heartthrob. I know you don't believe me, but I honestly don't consider myself a heartthrob.
And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.
When I'm in love, I wake up happy.
I can be you hero baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away
I want to clarify it: I'm not against marriage, marriage is great if you want to get married. A lot of my friends are happily married. I don't think walking down the aisle and [having] a legal document can make a difference. That doesn't mean you love someone more or you respect them more - you can be with someone perfectly well without being married.
My relationships have been well publicised in the past but I am just a normal guy, really.
I'm not a heartthrob. I hate that word.
Love is one of my main inspirations.
The one thing I've learned in the last ten years is that successful artists don't get paid to write and sing songs, they get paid for the psychological roller coaster they're going to have to ride. That's the hard work.
Really, the F word in a song - it should be the least of the worries of parents these days.
