You just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible.

Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.

The worse part of being lied to is when you realize you believed it.

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

It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness.

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 know if I ever told you this before, but you're the only one I ever waited for this long.
