I had no choice but to work hard. I was a straight-A student, went to college, and I loved business. I never thought I was going to be a singer myself. It came accidentally.
I'm really in touch with my fans. Through their emails, letters and stories is how I decide what music I'm going to perform.
I want to be the Mexican-American Oprah Winfrey. That's a small goal, isn't it? That's something that I want. And of course not just to host, I want to OWN it! So, that's in my future.
Being a recording artist, selling music, selling concerts out, having a reality show, starting film; it's great, it's beautiful.
'Malandrinas' means 'bad girls,' but not bad in a negative way. I wrote it in homage to my female fans.
I'm happy for the success that I've had, but I've worked so hard at it.
You work hard and you have expectations. So I'm living my expectations right now.
I am a woman like any other and ugly things happen to me like any other women.
I can't get caught up in the negative because that destroys you.
My inspiration is always what I think my fans want to listen to. I often write about social problems. If I'm not going through it or I haven't gone through it, I want to make sure it touches someone. That's what I base my music on.
Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do.
My ass is big because a lot of people have to kiss it.
I've been recording since 1993. It was a hobby for six of those years. In 1999, I decided to do it full time and take it seriously.
