More quotes by 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
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'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
I think writers are prone to hyperbole sometimes.
John Legend
I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.
John Legend

John Legend
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.
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
We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.
John Legend

John Legend
I guess a lot of times pressure is put on something after it becomes big.
John Legend
If a few people decide not to buy my album it's really not going to change my life that much.
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
I'm pretty adventurous with food, so I'm not afraid to try anything.
John Legend
But in my mind I've always been a solo artist- I've just been working with a lot of great people like Kanye and Alicia Keys and Jay-Z.
John Legend
I played classical as a kid.
John Legend
Music wasn't forced on me [in my childhood]. It was something I wanted to do. And ever since, I've never stopped, I've never stopped playing music.
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 was the front man of the choir and then when I was 12 and I was the leadsinger of my highschool groups.
John Legend
John legend is a nickname that somebody started calling me a while ago and part of it is 'cos I sound like an old man when I sing.
