I've been a jazz artist playing pop and R&B my entire career.

I'm never satisfied with what I do.

I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

I don't care how small the game. I want to win.

I was a nerd academically. But I was also an athlete and a musician. I never wanted to be shut out of any situation. I think it was that more than anything.

For me able to do the records I want to do and not have to worry about this producer or that producer or that trend, I'm not really interested in that.

People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart.
