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.

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.

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.

Artists in general never stay in the same place, we keep growing. It's still you, you still have that core that you always had, but you work with new people and hear new things.

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.

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.

If I collaborate with people, ideas...they take interesting turns and twists, and I'm excited for that and that process and excited to see what we come up with.

Soul is about authenticity. Soul is about finding the things in your life that are real and pure.

I don't get to listen to music for fun very often a lot of what I'm hearing is for work and isn't released yet.

I was in an a cappella group in school, so it particularly helped me keep my piano chops up.

If a few people decide not to buy my album it's really not going to change my life that much.

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.

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.

I've written good love songs when I have been in love and I've written good love songs when I haven't.

I think you're always policing yourself by trying to do what you think would be cool and accepted by other people, until you start to figure out who you really want to be. Growing up is an ongoing push-and-pull of you being yourself and you performing to what society expects you to be.
