Eating is not one of the things that I do now to deal with pain, because I don't ever want to do that. But I isolate myself, that's what I do.

I think it's OK that everyone's not real heavy and wordy and heady.

A person's either responsible for themselves or we're all responsible for each other.

I'm not just making rhymes and making melodies. I'm expressing my true life force, energy.

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.

One of the things that I've worked my way out of doing, and I knew that I needed to, was comparing myself to other people. That just poisins everything. It all of a sudden dtermines even clothes you're going to choose to wear that day or what you're going to do with a music production or how you're going to sequence it. It poisinseverything. Your real job in the world is to be you. Comparing yourself to other people I think that hurt me more than anything. Allowing myself to go there so much in my head hurt me.

What is socially irresponsible, once again, is just all my opinion. But there are things that I don't think are cool.
