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.

More quotes by John Legend
We're so used to having everything we want at our fingertips so I think that when things get tough it's difficult for people to persist through that.
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
The main focus for me is not trying to find duet partners. It's about just making great songs. I want most of my album to be in my voice, because it's my point of view.
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
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 only want to be associated with music that is high quality. That's my main criteria.
John Legend
As a nation - and as a world - we need more truth.

John Legend
I always felt that rap didn't cause crime it just reflected it.
John Legend
I think writers are prone to hyperbole sometimes.
John Legend
I want to move people, stir something within them that makes them feel. That's what a movie should do and an actor should do, make you feel something. I think that's why people love films so much.
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 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
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
John Legend
I've written good love songs when I have been in love and I've written good love songs when I haven't.
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
Musicians are in-season all the time.
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
The weirdest thing about Hillary Clinton's email 'scandal' is finding out some of our senators still don't use email.
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.
