I feel like spirituality definitely comes through in my music, but I don't make any specific efforts to make it that way.

I think the most important thing is that I'm making music that the people enjoy. So the fans, the people that are out there listening to music and consuming music, I want them to enjoy it and love it. And so that's more important to me than Grammys.

I don't feel like that many musicians are competitive with each other.

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last. Some people start with the lyrics first because they know what they want to talk about and they just write a whole bunch of lyrical ideas, but for me the music tells me what to talk about.

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.

Happy that New York passed marriage equality tonight. A victory for human rights. Progress.

I don't get to listen to music for fun very often; a lot of what I'm hearing is for work and isn't released yet.
