I won't sing if I don't feel it, so there's always so much sadness and so much sentiment behind it all.

I fight manic-depression, and I have been able to live battling that sadness that I get sometimes.

Women in salsa - women everywhere - we always gotta be defending ourselves.

There's so much that I can give as a human being - and I know that.

Originally, I thought English was more my home. But Spanish is so much more romantic. I've had to learn new phrases. I've had to learn to be more secure about singing in Spanish. But I'm working on it.

My style of singing is very much Latin jazz meets Latin and a little bit of rhythm and blues. When I do ballads, my fans love it. They want to listen to my classics. They want to party.
