At the end of the day, there's only a few major stars in the music business, and then there's all these people that are aspiring to be that.

There's a lot of hurry up and wait. But it gives you time to write a song.

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.

In the 1970s, for all the Stevie Wonders, I'm sure there were five artists that were making forgettable music.

We should care about what is going on in the world.

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