It's in my music, and its on my mind all the time. To spread love, healing peace and joy is my mission in life - and so I speak up.

Anyway, in my performance style, I'm a singer-songwriter. People can call it neo-soul or R&B or whatever. But at the core, when you see me live, I'm a singer-songwriter.

Beautiful jewelry, a beautiful room - that's what museums are - a beautiful painting, a beautiful face, it makes you feel good to look at, and that's a beautiful thing.

In the music industry it's just you're either Black or white, and this is the box you get put in.

Either you're a hater or a lover.

The thing that makes me most vulnerable is romantic relationship.

The worst disease in the world is hate. And the cure for hate is love.
