If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic.

I'm not going to sit inside of a corporation for 20 years. The time is now. The time is now to express yourself. The time is now to believe in yourself.

I looked at Justin, and I was like: “Do you want me to go onstage for you?"

I wonder...would you rather have 100 from an average person or 10 from someone who is outstanding

Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration, and we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place.

Know your worth! People always act like they're doing more for you than you're doing for them.

Everyone's born confident, and everything's taken away from you.
