I want you to live the best life you can. You can be world-changers. .. Pursue this life of love with focus and passion and ambition and courage. Give it your all. And that will be your path to true success.

​W​e're so used to having everything we want at our fingertips so I think that when things get tough it's ​difficult ​for people to persist through that.

It's not enough to say we need to love each other, you have to go behind that and say we need to change these policies, we need to fight, we need to protest, we need to agitate for change.

My family is very musical, I was surrounded by it. And from four years old I was the one that asked my mother could I take piano lessons.

Every artist wants some sort of feedback, because you make this music and you hope people love it and you want to hear if they love it and what they love about it, what their favorite song is, what they think the next single should be. I like to hear those things.

My first big break came with Lauryn Hill on a track called Everything is Everything, I played piano on that track way back in 1998.

Well, I like songs that have like a little bit of quirkiness to them.
