There's a lot of stuff in the club that's like, it's cool there because you're drinking and all you wanna do is do ignorant sh*t.

I've always had this tremendous and very deep feeling of knowing my purpose, you know? It never dawned on me, it always very much known.

For me, the creative process for me always starts in a personal place. I step away from my iPod or any records or CDs.

When I was coming up, I just wanted to play baseball and I'm doing what I love to do most. How can I feel pressure doing what I love to do?

I think my style as far as vocal delivery and even down to the pronunciation of certain words is so deliberate.

I feel like R&B as a genre has become a caricature of itself.

I'm lonely and I'm still kind of searching for someone I can have a real connection with.
