My daughter is almost a young lady. She's going to be 10 years old in December and I want to be there day-in and day-out.
Everybody's not as fortunate as I've been that can have their hubby with them on the road, that we can do whatever we want and mainly be honest with the kids. Just the time that you do give them, make it be great time. It doesn't have to be hours.
I don't want anything from Cuba. I want them to be free and enjoy the things I enjoy.
I spent 15 years on the road between touring and recording and I never saw anything. I want to enjoy life.
Neither. I did not bring my crown, and the last thing I would want to do is get into politics.
The last thing I wanted to do was put politics into my music . . . because music was my escape.
As an immigrant, I appreciate, far more than the average American, the liberties we have in this country. Silence is a big enemy of morality. I don't want our blunders in history to get repeated.
I was the only girl in class who spoke Spanish and the first word I learned was 'stupid' because that's what the kid next to me called me,
I think every child, every person at some point in their life feels like they don't fit in, ... I wanted to plant some seeds with this book in young children today to realize how important it is to have your identity and to be who you are.
I strongly feel that we are all connected,
Noelle is apart from everyone else. She's like a person,
My job as an entertainer is to take you some place else. I love exploring different genres of music to please my fans.
There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and I've always looked at life that way; I've always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that I've gone through.
Music has been so healing in my life, so the fact that my music could be that for someone else is the best gift of my whole career. People have told me that they got married to my music, divorced to my music, and played my music while they were having their baby.
