We Weren't Put Here To Be Miserable.

I Was In Paris Last Year, Where There's A Great Appreciation Of Many Different Aspects Of African Culture And Of Black Culture. The Music... The Art... Whatever... And I Kind Of Went With That.

I'm So Happy. I Am Able To See The World Just By Making Music, Just By Doing The Thing That I Loved Doing When I Was Five Years Old.

None Of Those Material Possessions Do Anything To Make Your Life Any Better.... I Know A Lot Of People Who Have A Lot Of Everything, And They're Absolutely The Most Miserable People In The World. So It Won't Do Anything For You Unless You're A Happy Person And Can Have Peace With Yourself.

I've Had To Work Very Hard, And I Don't Really Have A Category Or Fit Into Any Niche, So Each Time I Come Out With A New Record, It's Like, I'm A New Guy.

I Never Sit Down To Write. When I'm Moved, I Do It. I Just Wait For It To Come. You Just Hear It. I Can't Really Describe Writing. It's In My Head.
