Famous Quotes & Sayings

Daddy Yankee

Reggaeton means the same thing to Latino youth as hip-hop does to African-American kids. We didn't have artists to look up to before.

It's their music.

That said, we cannot help but understand that he wishes to have more personal time after many years of service to the arts and we salute and thank him for his formidable accomplishments and significant contributions both to City Opera and to opera in general. Paul Kellogg's vision for City Opera has charted our course for the coming years. We are grateful beyond measure and will miss him profoundly.

Ken Stringfellow

Our relationship, musically and friendship-wise, came to a halt for a couple of years, ...
