To Me, As A Musician,

Kind Of The Critical Acclaim Of This Movie [la La Land] Is That It's Striking A Chord With The Public In A Way That Has Been Really Beautiful And Powerful.

I Want To Move People, Stir Something Within Them That Makes Them Feel. That's What A Movie Should Do And An Actor Should Do, Make You Feel Something. I Think That's Why People Love Films So Much.

Well, I Was Always A Bit Of A Political Junkie. Even As A Kid I Would Read Biographies Of Presidents And Of Civil Rights Leaders Like Martin Luther King And Frederick Douglass And Booker T. Washington.

I Think It's Not Enough For Us To Extend The Hand Of Love. I Think It's Important That That Goes Both Ways. It's Important Also That We Look At Policies We Need To Change As Well.

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.
