Behind The Music: Enrique Iglesias Premieres On Sunday
. "A lot of people always ask, do you feel bad that your dad wasn't able to take you to school every day. And I always think, I go, no. No, cause I never looked at it that way. I wouldn't change anything. My father was great, he loves his career. He probably loves his career more than anything but I understand." - Enrique Iglesias, reflecting on his childhood and growing up with a famous father "Growing up with a father like mine, you know, he was a big star, sold a lot of albums and sold many, many tickets around the world. That was my point of reference, my comparison. So the way I looked at it was, okay, if I'm going into this, it's because I gotta get to that level or even better." - Enrique Iglesias, on setting goals prior to getting into the music industry "We wouldn't talk for quite some time and then I would get a call from my father and he was like, oh you know, you have your first number one but maybe you got lucky. And it would�just piss me off. Until today I don't know if he was doing that to push me, but it just motivated me to prove him, I wanted to prove him wrong." � Enrique Iglesias, on his album "Vivir" shooting to #1 on the Billboard Latin charts and knocking his father's record "Tango" to the #2 spot "Some people say love you with such ease, and for me it's always been a difficult word to say. All I can tell you is the first time I said it, I truly, truly meant it." � Enrique Iglesias, on his relationship with Anna Kournikova "The first six years of my career I didn't have anybody close to me or close enough that I could call my girlfriend. For me a serious relationship is when you can open up and when you can trust that person 100% and you know they'll, they'll you know, take a bullet for you the same way that you'd take a bullet for them, and to get to that point it takes time and it's not an easy thing." - Enrique Iglesias, on his dating life "That is the one moment in my career that I'll probably always remember, walking around that studio and seeing all these legends, there was no egos, it was about that moment and trying to help out and trying to make, trying to make it better with music. After I was done singing the song, looking around, everybody was crying. I almost felt like crying. It was unlike anything I've ever felt in my whole life." � Enrique Iglesias, on performing "Hero" in New York at the 9/11 Telethon "Whenever I have to explain the relationship that my father and I have, for a lot of people it would be very difficult to understand. I don't feel like I have to sit in front of my father and tell him sorry or he has to tell me sorry. There's nothing to be sorry about it. I love him, I respect him and I understand him." � Enrique Iglesias, on his current relationship with his father, Julio Iglesias "The minute your records don't start selling that well, people start doubting you. You gotta convince them again, please don't stop believing in me. Just because we have one record that doesn't do well, I'm not over, man. I can still do this. Because man, it can make you doubt yourself." � Enrique Iglesias, reflecting on "7," his lowest selling U.S. album to date
