I have this propensity to just come out and say things. That's how I am in real life.

I think at any point, as an artist, whatever the medium - just having an audience means the world.

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

Travel aesthetics should be just as comfortable and practical as they are fashionable.

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

I think in a world where everyone wants to categorize and compartmentalize and rationalize, it's OK to be different.

Most people know my music based on the singles, and think of it as scandalously romantic. There's definitely a romantic vibe, but I often sing things that are very direct. I don't beat around the bush much.
