When you're a kid, you have this feeling like you're indestructible. Your mortality doesn't even occur to you. But as time goes by, you realize, "I better cut this out or that out if I want to continue to exist."

The first Latin music that blew my mind was bumba, which was a Puerto Rican beat.

A lot of stuff I do, 10 years later it becomes popular.

As I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.

Everything I've done I've just fallen into.
