It happens pretty frequently and in the most random places, ... It hasn't changed my life at all, but it's added a nice, fun element to it.

I'm probably a lot different. It's just the difference between being 16 and being 36. It's huge. One is a teenager and the other is a real adult. Obviously I'm a better dancer, a better artist. I was not one of those child prodigies.
