I'm a believer that the more I'm giving, the happier I am, and the more beautiful my exterior will be.

I don’t even know at what age I started, because it’s always been there. Performing … creating … it’s in my DNA.

Perfection is often the enemy of greatness.

I want people to know about these visionary artists. I want people to know what they stand for and (that) they are representing something unique, something fresh. I am just so excited about their careers.

People in my family and camp who grew up listening to rap music love 'We Are Young.' I've heard it play at weddings. I've heard it in graduation parties. It's a big idea and big song.

I always think about the next generation and creating a different blueprint for them. That's my goal: to let them know there's another way.

Lauryn Hill, P-Funk, Marvin Gaye, Public Enemy - I have a very diverse palate for music. I can go from Judy Garland to Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Wonder to Rachmaninoff. I just love great music.
