As a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity.

Being singer/songwriter implies versatility and being able to create more than one medium, and R&B artist is a box, simple as that. It is 'that's what you do, that's what you are', and that's a little unfair, to me, because I don't just do that. So I like singer/songwriter because it allows me to move a little bit more freely.

I don't ever want to be caught up in a system of thinking I can do one thing 'cos that's just... that's just telling yourself a lie.

With my art, it's the one thing that I know will outlive me and outlive my feelings. It will outlive my depressive seasons.

You can't think. You just have to do things.

The idea of recognizing your strengths and using them in as versatile a way as you can is cool to me.

As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.
