I Made The Record That

I've Had To Work Very Hard, And I Don't Really Have A Category Or Fit Into Any Niche, So Each Time I Come Out With A New Record, It's Like, I'm A New Guy.

I’ll Be Quite Frank With You — I Didn’t Know About Hunger Games — So When I’m Telling Kids And They Say, ‘who Are You Playing?’ And I Say Cinna, They Go, ‘oh You’re Playing The Gay Guy.’ That Was An Actual Answer. I’ve Never Brought That Up Yet. That’s How They Perceived It. So I Thought About It, And I Read The Book And I Don’t See That He Is Or Isn’t [gay]. He’s A Designer, He’s A Stylist, He Has Gold Eyeliner—that Doesn’t Mean Anything Either Way.

We're Beginning To Play God And Get Into Cloning. We Give Up Quickly. Divorce Is An Easy Option. So Why Not Just Create Your Own Mate? Synthesize A Human Being. You Get Tired Of It, Turn It Off And Put It In The Closet Like The Vacuum Cleaner.

Fly Away Changed My Life. There Are Certain Songs That Do. When I Won The Grammy, I Was In Paris. I Sort Of Forgot About It.

Our Music Is Always A Reflection Of Where We Are In A Society. That's What Enables So Many People To Do What They Do. So My Advice Is To Work At Your Craft. Be The Best You Can Be At Your Craft And Do It Sincerely. Even In The World We Live In Today, That Will Give You Longevity. At The End Of The Day, I Want The Quality Of My Work To Stand, Not How Much I Did.
