The rise of salsa was such an important time in musical history, not just in Latin music but music in general, because these guys created a new sound.

I came from the Bronx and a certain background. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things.

When I am wrong, I will learn the lesson and move on to face other challenges. For me, that's what creating your own life is. Doing your best work while being your best self.

Everything I wanted before, I want twice as much now. And that doesn't mean material things; it means to explore more, to think more. Being an artist doesn't start because you're 21, and it doesn't end because you're 51. You are who you are until the day you die.

I'm a hopeless romantic and passionate person when it comes to love.

Just making sure that they both felt equally loved is what was tough about the twins.

When I turned 40, I was like, huh. I accept myself more now. It was much more comforting.
