The worst thing about being famous? I think it's what everybody says.. the lack of privacy and the idea that you're not really allowed to make mistakes and everything that you do is viewed under a microscope.

I went to New York. I had a dream. I wanted to be a big star, I didn’t know anybody, I wanted to dance, I wanted to sing, I wanted to do all those things, I wanted to make people happy, I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me. I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.

I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.

In some respects I will never die. Because art is immortal. What we leave behind and what we create - the energy that we put out into the world is eternal.

I like to make people think.

I do not support Hamas! I support human dignity and respect! I support sharing! I support Peace! #ceasefire

People hear the soul, black influence in my voice. I grew up listening to CKLW and all the black stations like WLBS.
