I feel like my job is to make impact, spread love, tell great stories, inspire people, that's what I am going to do.

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.

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.

I used to work for a management consulting company, so I dressed differently - business casual, probably a lot of things from Banana Republic. My wardrobe now is definitely more expensive, but I always dress for the occasion.

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

For me I'm actually doing what I normally do when I do my solo thing and the other thing is actually more new to me.

I have a great band, with very talented players, and we give everything we have every night.
