Those who are heartless, once cared too much.

Why see the world / when you got the beach?

In art, at a certain level, there is no 'better than.' It's just about trying to operate for yourself on the most supreme level, artistically, that you can and hoping that people get it. Trusting that, just because of the way people are built and how interconnected we are, greatness will translate and symmetry will be recognised.

As a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity.

A friend of mine jokes that I have a painstaking royalty complex. Like maybe I was a duke in a past life.

We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I'm going to be alive, I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way.

I don't ever want to be caught up in a system of thinking I can do one thing 'cos that's just... that's just telling yourself a lie.

The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance.

My TV ain't HD, that's too real

Being singer/songwriter implies versatility and being able to create more than one medium, and R&B artist is a box, simple as that. It is 'that's what you do, that's what you are', and that's a little unfair, to me, because I don't just do that. So I like singer/songwriter because it allows me to move a little bit more freely.

When you're happy you enjoy the music, but when you're sad you understand the lyrics.

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.

It's cool to be recognised by your peers.
