I've learned in my older age how to let it go when things don't work out, because something incredible that I don't know about yet is probably right around the corner.

I just try and get better and better at me with every album.

For me, when I want to be emotionally moved by a vocal, I don't want to hear auto tune on it, I want to hear the beautiful imperfections.

People don't want to change. It's hard for people to change and it's hard for businesses to change. If I was running an oil company, I would be resistant to change too.

In London, the weather would affect me negatively. I react strongly to light. If it is cloudy and raining, there are clouds and rain in my soul.

When someone becomes a millionaire, the least important thing is what they have. The most important thing is what they have become.

I'm a workaholic, so I read everything that's out there.

The theater is who I am - it's where I feel the most inspired, the most at home, the most useful.

Kohaku aren't you afraid to die? No. Truly, there is neither fear nor hesitation in your eyes.

No one calls me out, I'm from LSU.

If it were not for art, I would have killed myself a long time ago.
