I only want to be associated with music that is high quality. That's my main criteria.

I think writers are prone to hyperbole sometimes.

John Legend is a nickname that some friends started calling me, and it kind of grew into my stage name.

It's an artist's duty to reflect the times in which we live.

No matter how big or successful and famous you become, if you do that, that's the most fulfilling thing, is making music that you love and that you're proud of.

The weirdest thing about Hillary Clinton's email 'scandal' is finding out some of our senators still don't use email.

I've felt like my last name put pressure on me as an artist. If you're going to call yourself "Legend," you'd better make some good-ass music.
