As far as the fans, I always say it because it's the truth: without them I'm absolutely nothing.

I've always had goals, always had visions, always had a plan, always been very strategic.

I never worry 'cause people always try to categorize me. "Oh, that's reggaeton." "Oh, he's a Latin rapper." "Oh, he's crunk." "Oh, he's a Southern rapper," or, "He's a club rapper." As long as they're listening to the music and they're talkin' about it, one way or the other, that means I'm doing something right.

There's always something going on, and people need that 45-minute-to-an-hour-and-15-minute break, where they just escape and not worry about bills, health care and God knows what. That, to me, is when you're making great music: when people can just forget about what's going on.

I'm so passionate about making good music.

This is the truth: I'm into sales. I love deals. I'm definitely a sucker for steals.

Don't just give me an advance. I want a percentage.
