Pitbull

I'm taking all the negatives in my life, and turning them into a positive.

One night I'll be in Los Angeles and it'll be a Latin crowd, and then another night I'll go to Fresno and it'll be an all-black crowd. To me, that's the beauty of the music.

Every time I reach a new audience, that means I'm doing something right.

Any time I see anything moving onstage, I'm cautious about it.

I already had three strikes against me. One, I have light skin. Two, I'm from Miami, which wasn't getting looked at at the time. Three, I'm Cuban. But now, I've made everything that stacked against me into a virtue.

If you continue to work hard, let that be the fuel to your fire.

I feel like I've been fighting in music and creating new ways and new opportunities to make things work even when people thought it wouldn't.

I work hard. But I play hard, too.

When I get in the studio the idea is just to work and bang out as many as I can.
