Go for someone who is proud to have you.

If it brings me to my knees, it's a bad religion
Frank Ocean

The work is the work. The work is not me. I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films. Even though it's my voice, I'm a storyteller.

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

It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness.

We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor - got her master's with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.

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

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, but music sometimes, just music itself, can turn into more of a maths problem. I guess everything in life is a math problem, but it can be more about an empirical route to getting the symmetry that you want, and this vibe, sonically.

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.

Each individual's success as a solo artist is pretty much a win for the whole team.

Just remember someone loves everything you hate about yourself.

Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.

As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.

It's cool to be recognised by your peers.

Don't feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.
