I Was A Straight-a Student, Baby!

As An Artist, You Dream About Accumulating Enough Successful Music To Someday Do Just One Greatest-hits Album, But To Reach The Point Where You're Releasing Your Second Collection Of Hits Is Beyond Belief.

I Hold 'mi Tierra,' My First Spanish-language Album, Very Close To Me Because That Was All Done In My Native Tongue And Won Me My First Grammy.

I'm In Great Shape Considering I Have Hardware In My Back. I Work Out Constantly To Keep My Muscles Limber And My Abs Strong So They Can Take The Burnt Of Everything.

The Last Thing I Wanted To Do Was Put Politics Into My Music... Because Music Was My Escape.

The Most Beautiful Thing About Music Is That It Transcends Most Anything.
