It's in my genes. My mother was an opera singer. I'm clearly dramatic.
I've seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don't think that's who I am.

No stress, no fights. I'm leaving it all behind. No tears, no time to cry. Just making the most of life.
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

If you look inside yourself, and you believe, you can be your own hero.
I hope to be around past the 90's. I don't want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.
My mother is Irish, my father is black and Venezuelan, and me - I'm tan, I guess.
I'm very hard on myself and I have too many issues.
I understand people want to hold on to their roots.
Forget the image, forget the ensemble, forget the rumours, forget the short skirts, the big hair, whatever! I owe this to the fans and I will never forget you so I want to accept this award on behalf of all of you.
Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff.
There's a hero, If you look inside your heart
