Personal Quotes
"If your buying an album because of the face on it, you're stupid."

"I don't consider myself a sex symbol."

"I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously."

"I don't care what people say. My music's, my music."

"The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer"

"Touring is my favorite thing to do! I love the adrenaline I feel when I'm on stage and the energy I get from my fans."

"We grow from experience. My music is always changing and in constant evolution. My first album is completely different to the last album. I just follow my own taste on music."

"I like being underestimated. That's what pushes me, drives me to make a great album. I keep having to prove myself. This [music/song writing] is the only thing I know how to do, the only thing I really love."

"What won't change is always striving for that great song and that great album. That's the challenge, that's the fun, and that's what will always drive me."

"The song "Hero" is a very deep and personal song. All my songs I write come from something that's happened to me, in my life or someone I've met. But, I'll never tell what they are about. It's a secret."

"At the end of the day a great melody is great - but the lyrics are what make a song timeless."

"Creating a fragrance will be an exciting way to reach new fans while connecting with those people who already enjoy my music. I have always admired Tommy Hilfiger and am very excited about this new venture with Tommy Hilfiger Toiletries." [Response to his 2005 Fragrance line, 'Blue Star Men']

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
