When I get dressed, it's like freestyling.

I only act from my heart.

Working with J Balvin has undoubtedly been an unparalleled experience.

Simple goes a long way.

I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.

If I went out to play basketball with other kids, when I came home I'd shower and go right back to the computer again. If there was a birthday party or a family activity, I would take my laptop and spend the whole day there.

I would get out of school and go straight to my computer to create beats.

Trap is new. It didn't start yesterday, but when I was 5, it didn't exist - not even in the U.S. I've evolved with the music.

A good song never gets old.

Everyone has been in love, at some point or another.

I think it's my responsibility, as a person of influence... to sometimes try to do what I can.

If I have the chance to say something, I will say it - but that doesn't obligate me to always say something, or to shed light on every problem, as if I were a lawmaker.

Money does not change people, people change.

The only difference between Benito and Bad Bunny is 16 million followers on Instagram. And the money that Bad Bunny has in the bank. Benito had, like, $7. The numbers are different, but I'm still the same. Even my insecurities remain the same.

Fashion is one thing, but style is another.

Everyone has their style and your style explains a lot about who you are - you feel me? I've had style since childhood, so I like to dress how I feel. But maybe I get carried away by some trends.

Now I do whatever I want.

A lot of artists fail when they try to act, and they flop. So when I get into acting, it's going to be to do it well, something good, something of quality. I want people to say, 'Wow, that movie' - or that show or whatever - 'turned out really well.'

When I arrived, at first a lot of people were like, 'This kid is different.'

You listen to the radio and all the songs sound the same, from 8 in the morning to 12.

There's people that appreciate what I do; there's people that criticize it.

I was a singing disc jockey who heard every type of music there was - and loved it all.

In our local Baptist church, I sang in the choir and formed a gospel quartet. When our minister caught me messing with his guitar, he taught me three positions - one, four and five. After that, I taught myself to play.

Whenever I'm in Kansas City, I think back to all the jazz-blues greats who played the blues here - like Count Basie, Charlie Parker and Jay McShann. I watched those guys jam in different places and heard a lot of things - but I couldn't do what they did. They were too good.
