I'm a singer, songwriter from Mexico.

I have the knack of easing scruples.

Film composers are the most prolific music makers on this planet, and most of us are, like, losing our minds if we're doing five or more movies in a year.

You borrow from the greats, and you make your own path without losing the core of who you are.

If there are four equations and only three variables, and no one of the equations is derivable from the others by algebraic manipulation then there is another variable missing.

It feels great to be compared to Colombian singer Shakira.

There's a lot of maintenance that goes into being a professional singer.

I make the songs and part of making them is singing them. But what you hear is not me. It's the song. It's through me.

See when the crowd's with you singing every word it's a mad feeling.

Parents, teachers, professors, economists, pundits, entrepreneurs, tinkerers and misfits all have to do a better job of unapologetically singing the praises of capitalism and free markets which unequivocally demonstrate the ability to pull people out of poverty and improve and lengthen their lives.

I still sing on bits and pieces. Singing's something that I love to do, but it's not something that I pursue as a career.

It is very likely that many firms spend more on advertising than, for their own best interests, they should.

That's how I relax. I love singing with my castmates.

I hate losing. I hate getting beat. I'm not used to it.

Even if you want to try out something new, that should not be done without losing your roots.

I'm trying to look at my blessings and how amazingly well against all odds things have turned out for me.

I was approached by Oxfam to go to Mali as their ambassador and get involved in their various initiatives out there. But I felt that was missing the point of using me, a musician.

I thought I sang - it's OK - it's so hard to sing! Singing - I had no idea. I'd get fatigued at the end of a phrase - the amount of respect I have for singers!

I just would like to keep singing. As soon as I'm not singing well, I hope that I know it, so that I can get off the stage and leave what I have done. I hope I'll know, and if I don't, I hope somebody tells me.

I never looked at people or singing as commodities.
