Jazz is there and gone. It happens. You have to be present for it. That simple.
Once we're inside a tune, we can do anything with it.
I wasn't sued out of medicine, I wasn't arbitrated out of the profession.
I actually find a lot of pleasure in writing lyrics.
All of my stuff is raw, it's emotive, it's real.
Running away will never make you free.
I like to make people think a little bit.
I did tennis for a while, and I was actually on the volleyball team for a minute.
But remember, guitar players are a dime a dozen.
For me, California is all about rest, relaxation, space.
I was a complete outsider in high school.
I always believed it would happen and stuck to my guns.
Getting married was a ball. Being married was... a nightmare.
But I'm an adventurer. I like invention, I like discovery.
R&B is never going to be dead, it's just going to evolve.
I deal with haters on a daily basis.
My makeup is usually left over from the night before.
I don't wear a lot of high heels.
Rap in general has never been my steez, but I like it.
I don't want to treat my fans like they are stupid.
I write about what I'm going through.
