The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.

I would hate to make music and people love me for something that isn't me.

My son makes me super giddy, especially when he laughs. His laugh makes me laugh like a maniac!

When I was a kid I'd practise Chopin on piano - and I love Chopin! He's my dawg! Then I'd go out on the stoop and blast the radio. I'm from New York, the concrete jungle. Hip-hop influenced me from day one.

If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.

It's karma, baby. And it goes around.

You can't really compare people. That's one of the biggest lessons I've learned, because comparing yourself to someone else really stops you from being who you are.
