If I Never Won A

If I'd Known White People Were Going To Buy My Last Album, I Never Would Have Recorded It.

Let Optimists Rule The World.

I'm Making Music For Other People To Listen To For Pleasure. And Hopefully, Later On Maybe They'll Listen To It And Go, "that Bass Line, Boy, Did You Hear The Way Those Drums Interacted With That?"

There Are A Lot Of Young Black Girls Who I Meet In My Travels Who Don't Have A Lot Of Self-esteem. So If I Communicate To Them That They're Beautiful, No White Person Should Find Fault In That. It Doesn't Mean That Young White Girls Aren't Beautiful, Because They Are Just As Beautiful.

Our Podium Is The Music. It's Really Important That We Stay Focused, Because Things Become Misconstrued In The Media.
