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

My favorite thing in the world was to make people sing - until I made people laugh. Then that became my favorite thing in the world.

I'm a very melody-driven writer and I have a rule that I don't write anything down because if I can't remember the melody than it wasn't worth remembering. So it's my way to test myself in the studio. When I was a kid I could sing pretty well so melody always made a lot of sense to me.

Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

We want to evolve; like the Stones.

I just feel like there's something to be said about feeling comfortable with what you have and don't have. And - for instance, I don't think I'm particularly a great singer, but I feel like I write songs that complement my voice, you know, and I feel like it's unique. And I don't feel like I'm particularly a great actor, for instance, but I feel like I approach each thing that I do with some level of sensitivity. And I would say that comedy in general is the most disarming.

I'm a mutt as far as music is concerned, because I listen to everything.
