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

The extremes of who I'd love to be onstage are David Bowie, Prince, and, I don't know, Bjork.

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

I want to be transparent, so I don't leave room for too much thinking.

Historically, black music has influenced other cultures and other genres and created other genres.

I would say that the most complex style of singing comes from India. Real, classical Indian music produces probably the best technical and natural singers in the world, just because the patterns and the inflection are so complex in how the style moves and what it requires vocally. I think the best classical singers come from India.

I think I'll always make music that sounds different from what is current, but I doubt that it'll sound consistently the same as what I've been doing.
