Experience is a great teacher.

Artists in general never stay in the same place, we keep growing. It's still you, you still have that core that you always had, but you work with new people and hear new things.

Women are dealing with the same thing: they're dealing with expectations about how they're supposed to look and how they're supposed to interact with men. I think we're all trying to figure it all out, especially when we're teenagers, but I think the key is to listen and empathize with one another.

My first big break came with Lauryn Hill on a track called Everything is Everything, I played piano on that track way back in 1998.

I was always the front man for what I was doing from when I was 6.

The future started yesterday, and we're already late.

I hear melodies and hooks all day. I've always been that way, since I was a kid.
