You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.

I never sit down to write or say, "Today, I have to record something." I wait to hear it and then I go for it.

For me a watch is a really beautiful instrument. I don't so much care what time it is but I do love watches, and I love how they're constructed.

I'm a very open and loving person. My whole thing has been "let love rule" since my first album. I'm about unity and peace and God.

I was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It's a reality.

I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.

Working with Gabby [Sidibe], I realized immediately that she was amazingly talented. I could tell just by the way she'd get into the role.
