I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in Brooklyn. It's what gave me my drive to succeed, the upward mobility I've been after my whole life.

I feel lucky to be in whatever I'm in. I feel lucky to be working.

I've been lucky enough to primarily work for myself over the years.

I grew up in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn is where I primarily developed. I had an opportunity to make records and perform in clubs here and there, and I started networking with the right people in the right places.

I'm extremely lucky that my passion - making and creating - is also my career.

I am lucky because I get to work with the smartest, most creative, and most devoted group of students and postdoctoral fellows imaginable.

I'm lucky enough to do what I like for work - not everyone's that fortunate.

I'm a New Yorker, and working in New York was divine for me. I loved working there and going to work there, which I've been able to do three or four times in my career, and I just love it. It's my favorite.
