More quotes by John Legend
As a young black boy, it made me proud to see black leaders that did something amazing and made the world change.
John Legend
For me, no matter how much money you want to make off of singing, no matter what kind of fame you want to make, achieve, the most important thing to me is making music that you're proud of, making music that comes from you, comes from an authentic place in you.
John Legend
Experience is a great teacher.
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
Every artist wants some sort of feedback, because you make this music and you hope people love it and you want to hear if they love it and what they love about it, what their favorite song is, what they think the next single should be. I like to hear those things.
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

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
I don't like going to football games. I like watching them on television. When you go to a game, it's hard to focus. There's so much going on, and it's cold. I'd rather sit and watch it and get replays and commentary.
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
The best training is to play by ear: trial by fire.
John Legend
I was in an a cappella group in school, so it particularly helped me keep my piano chops up.
John Legend
I don't feel like that many musicians are competitive with each other.
