More quotes by John Legend
I have a great band, with very talented players, and we give everything we have every night.
John Legend
Witnessing the extreme poverty in remote parts of Affrica can make you feel sad and powerless until you realize how little it takes to change these people's lives fundamentally in sustainable ways.
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
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
Experience is a great teacher.
John Legend
Sometimes I just think people are haters. And if they're haters, you can listen to what they have to say but you have to take it with a grain of salt.
John Legend
I don't feel like that many musicians are competitive with each other.
John Legend
All men should be feminists. If men cared about women's rights, the world would be a better place
John Legend
When I write, I don't really focus on duets or anything like that, or whether I'm going to feature this or that rapper. I just focus on just making a great song and figure out the rest later.
John Legend
I've always followed politics, and I think politics is everybody's business because we're electing someone who's going to be making important decisions that will affect all of our lives.
John Legend
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
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
I think people relate to the music because I have a sense of empathy, and I think I have a good understanding about relationships, and I talk about them in a real, honest way
John Legend
Musicians are in-season all the time.
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
Critics like to describe and categorize things, and categories often have a way of limiting people.
John Legend
I don't really marinate in anybody's album because I don't really want to sound like anybody else when I put my album out. So I'd rather not even be tempted to listen to a bunch of other stuff with any degree of emersion in it, cause I just don't want to sound like anything else, so I kinda focus on my own music.
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 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
As a young black boy, it made me proud to see black leaders that did something amazing and made the world change.
