I'm from a single-parent family. My mom is like my mom and dad. She's my world.

You don't create legends out of other legends.

I did a record with Janet Jackson, and it went to the top of the charts, and we had all of these complications, and she couldn't be in the video and couldn't do anything for the record. I went through something similar with Pitbull. I think it works really well for a lot of other artists, but for me, it just doesn't work that well.

I really didn't think I was going to make records to where I make a living out of it.

The best thing about my house is that I live five minutes from the airport, and since I fly more than I drive, it saves me a lot of time.

When magic happens, it just happens, brother.
