I came from a middle-class family in Mexico, from a household full of women, in a country that is very machista.

I came from Nebraska, a very middle class family with a progressive father.

I would say I came from upper middle class family.

A song like 'Osito Carpintero' came straight from the Pedro Infante films, movies that all the kids in Mexico watched.

When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.

I came from a middle-class family. My dad was a professor; my mom was a nurse. I didn't come from money, and I didn't come from circles of power. I didn't come from the country club; I came from the town park.
