I want to move people, stir something within them that makes them feel. That's what a movie should do and an actor should do, make you feel something. I think that's why people love films so much.

If a few people decide not to buy my album it's really not going to change my life that much.

I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative... And for me, when I'm making music, it's all in my head, and all those influences in my head. So if something comes to me that's a reference from a different genre then people are used to hearing from me, I'm not afraid to go there with it.

Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.

The future started yesterday, and we're already late.

Sometimes I start just on the piano with a melody or musical idea that kind of leads me to certain lyrics.

I hear melodies and hooks all day. I've always been that way, since I was a kid.
