Luis Fonsi Quotes

My feet are always on the ground. My family and friends make sure I stay there.

I'm a simple man and success doesn't go to my head.

I try to go home to Missouri every couple of months. I do that because I like my family, of course, but my mom doesn't know who Carine Roitfeld is. And as much as that horrifies me, it's a good way to keep your feet on the ground.
