I will say that a lot of songs that I've written are from my own personal experiences which are special to me.

I don't want to sing boring pop songs - I want to sing songs that are meaningful to me.
I think it's really cool how J. Lo's been able to balance an acting career and a music career. That's something I strive for.
I'm half Puerto Rican and every Friday we have rice and beans and chicken in my house - so that's like a very Latin staple. It's just so comforting. I look forward to every single Friday because I just can't wait for my rice and beans and chicken.
