Said I loved you but I lied, cause this is more than love I feel inside.

But I'm not superstitious. I don't really eat dinner before I go on stage, because digesting a lot of food kind of shuts you down. And I try not to get involved in emotional conversations with anyone beforehand either, so I've got a clear head.

A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.

You know, fans who think we were made for each other and describe it in excruciating detail. You get peculiar things and beautiful things. But either way they're clearly thinking about you, which is nice.

You can't make everybody love what you do, but you can know how great you feel doing it.

It's an important thing to remember where you came from.

Its a combination of melody and lyrics, not one without the other. Its a confluence of these different elements that makes something powerful.
