I've always followed politics, and I think politics is everybody's business because we're electing someone who's going to be making important decisions that will affect all of our lives.

I do speak to kids a lot. I am very clear with them that not all of them should aspire to be me and not all of them should be aspire to be LeBron.

I think it's not enough for us to extend the hand of love. I think it's important that that goes both ways. It's important also that we look at policies we need to change as well.

When I write, I don't really focus on duets or anything like that, or whether I'm going to feature this or that rapper. I just focus on just making a great song and figure out the rest later.

It's really about making the best music you can make. It's really about working hard.

Sometimes there's that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears.

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