I know I'm a very dynamic performer. Once you come to the show, you're gonna want to have the album. I think it's more about showing people that it's OK to share similarities, but it's more important to embrace your individuality.

All the best times in music were rebellious. I mean, even like Elvis, people didn't want their daughters paying attention to him. He was considered too sexual!

What is missing in a lot of urban music is perspective. You hear a lot of regurgitated perspective. It's a lot of: out at the club. Had drinks. Patrón. Big booties. It's this regurgitated idea of living in this, I don't know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and Patrón. And so perspective, perspective, perspective is what I'm an advocate of.

I don't think I live the lifestyle that's expected of a quote unquote R&B artist. I'm just not that dude.

I can write hundreds of songs on simple power chords.

'SNL' is probably one of the premiere outlets that a musician can perform on that isn't obviously a music outlet.

I'm a nice guy, but I like to get into trouble.
