​w​e're So Used To Having Everything We

I Just Want My Music To Measure Up To. Part Of It's Just Thinking About My Place In History And How This Music Is Going To Be Perceived, If It's Listened To 30, 40 Years From Now.

Music Was My Life...it Was Everything To Me, Even Though I Was In School Majoring In English. I Was Still Very Focused On Music And Always Finding Ways To Perform, So That Was What Set Me Up To Want To Become A Recording Artist.

People See Me As Pretty Low Key In A Lot Of Ways. And For Me, Like, Even Choosing To Be John Legend And To Be Who I Am As A Star, As An Artist, It's A Risk 'cause I - You Know, I Graduated From College And Worked As A Management Consultant, And I Could Have Had This Very Kind Of Buttoned-up Life And Worn Suits To Work Every Day.

It's Not Enough To Say We Need To Love Each Other, You Have To Go Behind That And Say We Need To Change These Policies, We Need To Fight, We Need To Protest, We Need To Agitate For Change.

I Was In An A Cappella Group In School, So It Particularly Helped Me Keep My Piano Chops Up.
