With a canvas I'm a group of seven. A migraine, take two Excedrin.
We [in my family] don't like to mess around and talk about our problems or complain, it's just not anything that we do.

You need to have honest things in the world. Even if people don't understand it, if it's coming from you, that's already important.
I find that the quest to be perfect and make perfect music is like a black whole. I realize that you can come with the intention to capture a vibe and use a formula, but you have to accept that most of the time its not going to be what you envisioned and you might manifest something better. I think that's been the hardest thing to wrap my head around that most ideas we go for ends up sounding different. I think art in general should be about enjoying the process and the experience. All that matters is if you feel the music and it captures the element your going for.
I remember just looking at this lioness, she was staring at me, and we just had this weird connection.

I understand that artists and critics make a big deal over the Grammys. But when I go to my shows and I'm selling out arenas in London, and when I'm in Australia and Japan, there aren't any Grammys there. There are human beings who I've touched. There are human beings who are inspired by me, who I love dearly. And that's what my career is based on.
