More quotes by John Legend
My head’s under water but I’m breathing fine
John Legend
I think it's hard to really write a song that will educate someone because songs are meant to be ... you don't want to be too didactic in a song because it doesn't make for good music. And I think the role of songs can be to inspire people but there needs to education and prose to back that up.
John Legend
Critics like to describe and categorize things, and categories often have a way of limiting people.
John Legend
Anybody under the age of forty knows hip-hop, gospel and R&B pretty well, and it's all a part of what we consider to be 'black music.' There is a natural synergy between the three.
John Legend
A just society is not one built on fear or repression or vengeance or exclusion, but one built on love. Love for our families. Love for our neighbors. Love for the least among us. Love for those who look different or worship differently. Love for those we don't even know.
John Legend
I think the most important thing is that I'm making music that the people enjoy. So the fans, the people that are out there listening to music and consuming music, I want them to enjoy it and love it. And so that's more important to me than Grammys.
John Legend
I've felt like my last name put pressure on me as an artist. If you're going to call yourself Legend, you'd better make some good-ass music.
John Legend
We're so used to having everything we want at our fingertips so I think that when things get tough it's difficult for people to persist through that.
John Legend
Sometimes there's that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears.
John Legend
The best way to fight poverty is to empower people through access to quality education
John Legend
I think it's a bit of a myth that black Americans need one leader. We're not a monolith. And now that legal segregation and discrimination has been pretty much abolished there isn't the sort of universal mandate that a black leader would have. Black folks live in a wide variety of social situations right now.
John Legend
I only want to be associated with music that is high quality. That's my main criteria.
John Legend
If a few people decide not to buy my album it's really not going to change my life that much.
John Legend
Kind of the critical acclaim of this movie [La La Land] is that it's striking a chord with the public in a way that has been really beautiful and powerful.
John Legend
I'm trying to be me and embrace all the parts of me that have grown up, listened to more music and soaked up more influences.
John Legend
But in my mind I've always been a solo artist- I've just been working with a lot of great people like Kanye and Alicia Keys and Jay-Z.
John Legend
Some people, you know, should just go to college and do what they do and have a great job and not worry about trying to be famous as a singer. It's not for everyone.
John Legend
The weirdest thing about Hillary Clinton's email 'scandal' is finding out some of our senators still don't use email.
John Legend
I was in an a cappella group in school, so it particularly helped me keep my piano chops up.
John Legend
I hear melodies and hooks all day. I've always been that way, since I was a kid.
John Legend
