My tennis skills are okay.
— Enrique Iglesias
I love what I do, and I think I've appreciated it more throughout the years, but just to keep on traveling, keep on doing shows, and hopefully making better albums. That's always my goal.
Being anxious is the worst feeling in the world.
My motivations are thinking I can write better songs, that the concerts can be better.
If they would have told me when I was just 18 that I was going to have a career that would last so long, I'd have said it was impossible, that it was crazy that that could happen in my life, so I'm happy to be here. To be able to go out on stage every day.
The way I look at it, I'd rather make my own mistakes than have people make them for me.
I don't like being lied to, so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies, basically.
I'm so proud of who I am and where I come from and who my father is.
I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.
Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.
I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.
I really want to fall in love.
When I'm in love, I wake up happy.
I was happier before, when I lead a normal life.
I am really passionate about sports in general - especially water sports.
My best personality trait that I think I'm very approachable. And my worst is that I can be moody.
I've worked a lot during the night. But I don't sleep in the day either.
There are days that I wake up and I complain, and when I complain I pinch myself and say, 'that's for complaining.' Not many people can do what they really like in life.
The one thing I've learned in the last ten years is that successful artists don't get paid to write and sing songs, they get paid for the psychological roller coaster they're going to have to ride. That's the hard work.
There hasn't been one moment in my career where I felt I didn't have any control over the creative aspects of my records.
I care about politics just like any other citizen. I'm against the war in Iraq, or any type of war.
The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer.
If you're buying an album because of the face on it, you're stupid.
Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that's always going to change, and love is never going to change.
I'm very romantic.
Yes, I have made a woman cry.
I always respect a woman.
Love is one of my main inspirations.
I go from English to Spanish, and I feel I have some cool songs.
I'm quite grounded.
I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned.
As an artist, I've been very fortunate.
The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It's always been the same, but it's far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people; before, they were run by creative people.
If you come from Spain, you have to play football.
I don't sleep much. It takes me a long time to fall asleep. I'm a bit of an insomniac but, when I fall asleep, I don't ever want to wake up.
I don't care what people say. My music's, my music.
And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.
We all feel love, and that might sound kind of corny, but I really feel that's what joins musicians together around the world.
I'm a good person, but with many defects.
I prefer love over sex.
My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness.
