The Fun Part About Collaborating

I Listen To All Those Kinds Of Music, From Classic Soul To Hip-hop To Brazilian Music To, You Know, Jazz To Indie To Alternative... And For Me, When I'm Making Music, It's All In My Head, And All Those Influences In My Head. So If Something Comes To Me That's A Reference From A Different Genre Then People Are Used To Hearing From Me, I'm Not Afraid To Go There With It.

I Thought It Would Be Funny To Take A Photo In The White House Bathroom, I Take Pictures Everywhere I Go, But I Don't Think I Can Top That One.

Black People Invented Jazz. But This Story [in La La Land] Wasn't Ever Claiming To Be That. It's Just A Story About Two People From One Writer's Point Of View.

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.

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.
