  • I remember when I was working at Sprint, I'd work on my birthday, New Year's Day, and even Christmas Eve. I'm just used to working on my birthday, so I'll be celebrating it afterward.

  • I just think Valentine's Day is a day to really appreciate the person you love, no matter who it is, and to spend time with them. I don't think it's all about fancy presents or whatever. I think it's about spending that quality time with that special person.

  • I grew up having two different perspectives - one in English, one in Spanish. Two different cultures, very different - but I think that, to me, it's one. I'm just as American as I feel Latin.

  • I think behind every great man there's got to be a great woman, whether she's your wife, your girlfriend or not. I'm not gonna say that there's not that special girl out there. But I'm in the music biz, and I'm focused on the music.

  • I don't think I've ever had a bad Valentine's Day, I mean... c'mon, y'all know I never get a bad Valentine. Nah. Um, no, I've never really had - I don't have a bad Valentine's Day. I never really think... it doesn't come up to my mind.

  • My parents and grandparents listened to bacheta heavy, the true bachata from back in the day - Juan Luis Guerra, Anthony Santos. I liked the genre, but I remember thinking, 'OK, enough of this.' I would sing Usher's 'U Remind Me' to the girls in school.

  • My friends and I were the class clowns in high school, so one day we were showing off at our seats, and I fell off my chair! I had to get stitches, and I had a bloody lip. I was trying so hard to be a cool class clown!

  • There are two sides of me, the bachata/tropical Latin side and the English pop as well. They're both equally important, so I'll always make sure to keep both roots in my music.

  • My dream girl... well, I love eyes. And lips. She has to have nice lips!

  • Most of my fans know I love video games. I say it in every interview, so they know. But one thing that I like doing is skateboarding, I like jet skiing, skydiving. It's like a huge roller coaster ride. Like forty seconds of free-falling. That's some of the stuff I love, daredevil stuff. I like horseback riding.

  • Everything in life is a risk! I mean, you walk out onto the street and it's a risk! Don't you think?

  • I spoke English at school and Spanish at home, and I'm always eating Dominican food, listening to Dominican music.

  • I listen to a lot of crazy stuff like pop, techno, rock, hip-hop, rap, baladas, bachata...my iPod is crazy. I like listening to a lot of stuff in different languages, so my music is always out there for me.

  • I think that Valentine's Day is only as good as you want it to be. You know, I don't think it should be anything fancy, nothing crazy. As long as you're spending time with that person that's special, I think that's a great Valentine's Day.

  • I love American food, but I also love Latin food.

  • I do want to give out a positive message and be successful.

  • I'm excited to be launching D'Leon Records to support other young talent in their development. I have been very fortunate to have been able to break through and succeed in this tough industry, and this is one of my ways of giving back.

  • Spanish is my second language. When I started, I was doing interviews in Spanish and had to catch up.

  • All my fans are my girlfriends.

  • I met people that I couldn't talk to - they didn't speak Spanish or English - but they knew my songs. That's what I love, the music has gone past where I thought it would get to. That's the power of music, how it can travel and break language barriers.

  • I sang in English my whole life; I just happened to decide that I had a passion for Latin music, and I wanted to jump into Latin music first.

  • I wouldn't say I'm changing myself to find a new audience. It's about growing, trying new things. There's a whole other world out there that doesn't know who Prince Royce is.

  • I'm very clumsy, so there's been a lot of times I've tripped in front of girls I'm in love with or spilled food all over myself.

  • My parents are Dominican. I would always go to the Dominican Republic, and I fell in love with Bachata, which comes from the Dominican Republic.

  • I represent New York, I represent the Bronx, I represent the Dominican Republic. And I always have that in mind with everything that I do.

  • I always saw myself performing on stage and the girls yelling out my name.

  • Girls love emotion.

  • I like eating; I like going to restaurants and trying new things.

  • Normal, day-to-day things inspire you to write. I try to travel and chill, and go out and enjoy the outdoors. That makes you see the real world. Not just in the studio or at concerts. I live it up as normal as I can.

  • There are a lot of things going on that's causing a lot of these young kids to head in the wrong direction. I know a lot of kids that are cutting school. I try to give out a positive message, trying to get kids focused. If they don't then they're going to end up like every other hoodlum in the street.

  • I love hip-hop, R&B, techno and Latin.

  • I go skydiving often. At least twice a year.

  • I'm not here to try and replace anyone or compete with anyone.

  • When I was working at the Sprint store, I got laid off. I was bummed out, but I stayed positive. I used the money I had earned while working there to make my first album. Without that job, maybe 'Corazon Sin Cara' would never had been made. It's a very inspirational story.

  • At 17, I was working at Sprint in the Bronx so I could make money to fund my own music.

  • I sang everything - R&B slow jams, Spanish slow jams, romantic reggaeton - and I really didn't care which I got signed for.

  • I like Miami in the winter: there's no humidity, no bugs, no mosquitoes. You go out and wear your jacket, and you're all good!

  • I grew up playing basketball and eating hot dogs on the corner.

  • There's just something about being on stage and being with the people that, once that camera turns on, you find the strength to keep it cool, look good, act like you're not cold, act like you ain't nervous, act like you aren't scared. I think that comes with confidence and practice.

  • I think when you translate songs, you lose the real essence and the meaning.

  • My whole life, I grew up with this double vision, this vision of America but also Latin community.

  • In Spanish, for whatever reason, I lean more toward the high notes.

  • I feel blessed to even be able to put out an English album. Not too many Latin artists get the opportunity to come out and record another genre that's so different to Bachata.

  • Every time I collaborate with an artist, I want to surprise fans. I want to do something new.

  • I always used to sing in the shower, but I never really got into the music until a friend of mine helped me a lot with recording.

  • I have fans from different cultures coming up to me saying that they don't understand what I'm singing but that they like the music.

  • I hope to touch many Hearts through my music

  • I think that sometimes fans or supporters say "I love this artist" but they may not realize that he loves them back.

  • I was a teenager doing teenager things, and now I have the honor of being on tour with musical giants Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull. I'm doing my music and performing in my own concerts! It just goes to show that anything is possible with hard work.

  • I'm very clumsy, so there's been a lot of times I've tripped in front of girls I'm in love with, or spilled food all over myself. My friends and I were the class clowns in high school, so one day we were showing off at our seats and I fell off my chair! I had to get stitches, and I had a bloody lip. I was trying so hard to be a cool class clown!

  • My ultimate goal in life, with my music, is to make a movement.

  • Fans have been very important in my career. Even though I'm just doing me and doing my thing, they're the captains of this ship.
