People really don't have to give you anything, so appreciate what people give you. And just don't let that go to your head, whatever it is they give you.

Music changes, and I'm gonna change right along with it.

I like Beyonce's music - some of it, not all of it.

I'm never tired of going to the studio. I enjoy recording and documenting everything and trying new things.

Soul is a constant. It's cultural. It's always going to be there, in different flavors and degrees.

My heart is still there in gospel music. It never left . . . I'm gonna make a gospel record and tell Jesus I cannot bear these burdens alone.

Trying to grow up is hurting. You make mistakes. You try to learn from them, and when you don't, it hurts even more.
