More quotes by John Legend
Some people, you know, should just go to college and do what they do and have a great job and not worry about trying to be famous as a singer. It's not for everyone.
John Legend
I'm honestly not a great gift giver. I could give better - my girlfriends have always complained about that.
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
I was a busy kid in high school - a little bit of an overachiever, I guess. Prom king was kind of silly, but the rest of the stuff was important to me.
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 guess a lot of times pressure is put on something after it becomes big.
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.
John Legend
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.
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
The fun part about collaborating is that you naturally just bounce off each other's energy and learn off each other.
John Legend
Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
John Legend
I'm pretty adventurous with food, so I'm not afraid to try anything.
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 have a great band, with very talented players, and we give everything we have every night.
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
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
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
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
Soul is about authenticity. Soul is about finding the things in your life that are real and pure.
John Legend
As a young black boy, it made me proud to see black leaders that did something amazing and made the world change.
