Everything I have now is so real, so vivid.

I listen to all kinds of songs. There's something to be learned from every type of music and from the one making it, whether it's pop or jazz or hip-hop.

Stevie didn't use the technology to drive the song. He used it to enhance. I use the tools to further my work, I don't use my work to further the tools.

Music used to be essential and meaningful, but now it's disposable.

There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.

Lionel Richie told me forget about the critics. But if you come back with hit after hit, you don't have to worry about anything.

I grew up in a time where anything was possible.
