I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but we did sell 12 million records on the first album, so we did get paid a little bit.

The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.

True leadership is when you are willing to risk your power and voice so that all of ours can be heard.

Performing onstage is all about reacting in a grand way. You're playing an arena of seventeen or eighteen thousand people and it's your job to make sure the person at the back feels as cool as the person all the way in the front. Being on stage is a bit of a façade. You get to walk out there and be the coolest version of yourself that you could possibly have imagined and then you come off stage and you're just like everyone else.

I think my style is kind of a cross between a skater hippie and an R&B star. If there were something I was going to endorse, it would probably be something like sneakers. Something that would be me.

I really didn't try to make an effort to make urban music, but I am a product of my inspirations.

'Cause if your love was all I had in this life, well that would be enough until the end of time. So rest your weary heart and relax your mind, 'Cause I'm gonna love you, girl, until the end of time.
