I am freely able to express myself honestly to the public without trying to polish it over, trying to hide something. I'm just trying to be free with my expression.

My whole family is spiritual. My grandmother, grand aunt, cousins, they're all preachers and pastors. Spirituality is a part of my family, from generations ago.

I think Americans should have a policy of love. That should be the foreign policy, love. Export Love.

Using political tools to change social conditions won't work.

Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.

Some of my songs I don't do on tour because they don't work well live.
