When I hear music, it's visual; I see things.

I've been compared to hundreds of artists, which just goes to show you that I'm not any one thing at all.

I identify more with women than with men. I guess I have a strong feminine side.

There's certain things in life that I love. One is architecture. And music, culture, food, people. New Orleans has all of that.

I'm more hungry now than I was 11 years ago. Which is great because I see a lot of artists that have been out for a long period of time. They get kind of fat.

A lot of people pretty much only listen to the chorus.

I mean, there are only so many notes. What makes something original is how you put it together.
