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

Music, to me, if it's good, it's good. That's all that matters.

I'm trying to be me and embrace all the parts of me that have grown up, listened to more music and soaked up more influences.

I just want it to be timeless and timely at the same time.

There's so much music out there, and so many different styles that I've been influenced by, so each album reflects some of that knowledge or influence that I've had.

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

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