I do believe that part of us ending racism is us seeing each other's humanity and learning to love each other, even if we look different or worship differently or live differently.

More quotes by 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
If you want the film [La La Land ] to represent all things jazz, it does not. You'll be disappointed by that. But, if you just see it as one guy's point of view, one filmmaker's point of view, and one story among many stories that can be told about jazz, then it's not as much of an issue.
John Legend
That's the evergreen nature of a great song. They can be resurrected. They can be covered. They can find new relevance due to changing circumstances in history.
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 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
You learn so much from taking chances, whether they work out or not. Either way, you can grow from the experience and become stronger and smarter.
John Legend
I thought it would be funny to take a photo in the White House bathroom, I take pictures everywhere I go, but I don't think I can top that one.
John Legend
Musicians are in-season all the time.
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 issue I focus on the most is extreme poverty. I think it's kind of out of sight out of mind. I wish there would be more stories about that to connect people to what's happening. To personalize it, to make it real to people, to inspire them to action.
John Legend
I always felt that rap didn't cause crime it just reflected it.
John Legend
Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
John Legend
I keep learning, listening, growing and experimenting.
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
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 guess a lot of times pressure is put on something after it becomes big.
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
Soul is about authenticity. Soul is about finding the things in your life that are real and pure.
John Legend
I played classical as a kid.
John Legend
I know when things feel a little, like, intrusive and when they don't. I don't have a lot to hide. But I do sometimes think, don't share everything.
John Legend
