"It's important to stay current and fresh."
"I've always said that inside of me there is a rocker that wants to come out, but I'm a romantic rocker."
"I am 100% proud Puerto Rican but have lived two-thirds of my life in the United States. So, there will be some things I write in English, but my main way of conversing with my audience is in Spanish because, at the end of the day, I'm a Latino."
"I talk bilingual."
"I'm not a social singer. But if one can take a social message via the romantic, that's a strong statement."
"I've learned and grown as a songwriter."
"I've worked my butt off. That keeps my feet on the ground - I'm the same Luis Fonsi onstage and at home cooking an omelette in basketball shorts."
"Part of our job as quote-unquote 'celebrities' is that we can gather people around things that are important. I think it should be a requisite - there should be a clause in the contract that you have to give back."
"It's crazy how the world evolves and the audience gives you an opportunity to really grow and live out your dreams."
"Ricky Martin just kind of opened a big door, but it's always been around. Latin artists have always been there, but some of them were never doing it in the U.S."
"Whenever I get a little chance to get to Orlando, I like to take a couple days' break with the family, just hang out, go clubbing around town."
"You kind of grow up and evolve in everything you do."
"My genre is the pop ballad with a touch of R&B."
"My style has a lot to do with where I've been brought up. I've lived half my life in Puerto Rico and the other half in Florida, so I listen to music in English as well as Spanish."
"In my player, I have a Luis Miguel CD as well as a Brian McKnight CD. I'm known for my very romantic ballads as well as the fun, up-tempo pop songs."
"I definitely try to be myself and not try to imitate other performers. That's why I got my music degree. I wanted to be prepared and not be a 'product.' I want people to know that I'm not only a singer but a musician as well. I studied guitar, piano, and composition. I believe that it's just about being myself on and off stage."
"Performing on Broadway is an honor and a challenge for any artist."
"I love and respect theatre, so I am truly honored to have the opportunity to take my voice to the Broadway stage."
"Cancer is tough. Even saying it, it's a tough word to say."
"To say I was near our president, performing at the Nobel Peace Prize... I think that's an amazing thing."
"I won't lie, I didn't know there was a concert. I've always known about the Nobel Peace Prize and the different prizes given out for science and this and that, but I didn't know there was a concert the day after. When they said, 'You're going to perform in Norway for the Nobel Peace Prize concert,' I was like, 'All right, I'm there.'"
"I sang in a group for four years, and you just kind of get used to it. You don't really think about being by yourself."
"It's always morning for me until 4 in the afternoon."
"That is the most important thing to me, what happens behind the closed doors in the studio and makes me an artist."
"The transition to the United States was very interesting. I learned the language. I kind of got into the R&B. I'm a huge fan of the '80s, Journey and all that fun stuff. But when I moved to Orlando, it was more like Boyz II Men."
