| 1 | I have friends who hide in their bedroom for three days every time they have another birthday. That's what brings the wrinkles! I didn't care when I turned 30 or 40 or 50. |
| 2 | I left Venezuela looking for something bigger. I wanted to be an international star. |
| 3 | It doesn't really matter where the opportunity comes from, as long as I have fun doing the work. |
| 4 | It's not right to believe that the only way you're gonna get a job and the only way you're gonna get a man or be happy is by being so skinny. |
| 5 | Being born in Cuba, a country where freedom of speech is non-existent, it's startling to observe how Venezuela, where I was happily raised, is fast becoming Cuba's mirror image: Dismantling of fundamental democratic rights deserved by its people and citizens of the world. |
| 6 | I've never had a problem with age; my feelings and emotions are still like those of a young woman. Thank God, I can still be surprised and excited, and I can still dream. I think that's something no one should stop doing, because it's what keeps you young! |
| 7 | I've always wanted to be the center of attention. |
| 8 | All my life I've had a weight problem. As a child, I loved to eat. I would hide from my mother and drink whole cans of condensed milk in my room. |
| 9 | I believe that your own thoughts can bring on positive or negative effects. So the people who feel sick all the time are the ones who are going to get sick, and the people who are constantly worried about what's going on around them... those are the ones in trouble. |
| 10 | I've always been more in control of my professional life than my personal life. Although I'm a strong woman, when I fall in love I just give myself 100 percent. I become secondary. |

The album was recorded in English and the songs were heavily influenced by Donna Summer and other disco music artists from that era.

The marketing strategy paid off and the song went to become a huge hit, topping the Venezuelan charts in September of that year. |
