John Legend
Why wouldn't I help? What good reason do I have as a human being with power and a sense of empathy and morality, why wouldn't I do something?
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 always felt that rap didn't cause crime it just reflected it.
John Legend
At the end of the day, there's only a few major stars in the music business, and then there's all these people that are aspiring to be that.
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
No matter how big or successful and famous you become, if you do that, that's the most fulfilling thing, is making music that you love and that you're proud of.

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 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 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.
John Legend
I was the front man of the choir and then when I was 12 and I was the leadsinger of my highschool groups.

I played classical as a kid.
John Legend
The fun part about collaborating is that you naturally just bounce off each other's energy and learn off each other.
John Legend
As a nation - and as a world - we need more truth.
John Legend
Soul is about authenticity. Soul is about finding the things in your life that are real and pure.
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
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.
John Legend
