Hope is for people who wait. And I don't want to wait no more. I'm not scared anymore. I'm not scared of myself. Of my things. Of my fear. Of absolutely nothing. And that's music.

I live in a universe in which blame doesn't exist. I don't believe in being at fault; I believe in taking responsibility for your actions. If I do something wrong, I take responsibility for it.

I was always the only black in the movie theater, the only black in class, the only black in the library, the only black in the discotheque. I always felt observed and judged.

I sing against emotional dictatorships, and against the imposition of one person over another, in the name of love.

Las Vegas is a very strange place. It's a place of broken dreams.

I'm not scared about saying what I think.

I think that at one moment you're apt for one thing, and at the next moment you're apt for something else.
