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.

As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.

Don't ever play with someone's feelings, you could win the game but you could lose that person forever.

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

I won't touch on risky, because that's subjective. People are just afraid of things too much. Afraid of things that don't necessarily merit fear.

I don't intend to stop making music.
