Just as eunuchs will never know aesthetics as applied to the selection of beautiful women, so neither will pure rationalists ever know ethics, nor will they ever succeed in defining happiness, for happiness is a thing that is lived and felt, not a thing that is reasoned or defined.

I mean, there's plenty of artists who are making R&B music, but because of their ethnicity, it's considered something else.

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!

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

I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.

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

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I start off kind of in love and then I leave love and I'm single.
