I listen to NPR and baseball games when I'm in my car. I mean, exclusively NPR and baseball games, and that's it, as far as the radio.
Everything's been a struggle for me.
Puerto Rico has a stray dog problem. Tens of thousands of homeless canines - hundreds of thousands, by some estimates - live and die on the streets and beaches all over this Caribbean island of almost four million people.
I get a little sick of myself as a solo artist. I get a little bit bored.
Doing interviews can sometimes mess up my head. It makes me feel dirty. It's frustrating how the press recycles a quote to death.
I think the reason I've been able to keep making music is because I'm not married, I don't have kids.
I still have all the faith and love for my music and yet I'm still playing places for kids.
I want to paint. That is probably going to sound so pretentious coming from someone who's been a musician.
I was just dying to get out of my twenties.
Music is so hard. It's a struggle to get people to care. It's hard to make an impact in today's world because people aren't buying records anymore.
I've finally learned to love my voice for its uniqueness.
In this world, where everything happens so fast, it's hard to sit back, take the time and contemplate.
If life is a performance, and I am not an actor, am I supposed to lie down and die?
I could make a whole album with no one else involved at all. It would be a total, unadulterated expression of myself. Because whenever you have others playing on a project, their influence becomes a part of it.
