I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful.
Later on in life I was like, "Wow!" because that's exactly how it was. They don't care that you're mixed. They see you as one color.
There's certain things in life that I love. One is architecture. And music, culture, food, people. New Orleans has all of that.
Love is the most powerful energy there is.
Love , creativity, and opportunity is in the air. Take it in and do your thing.
I'm in this for the long haul. I've been making music my whole life.
I identify with women more than men. I guess I have a strong feminine side.
At first people thought I was really arrogant and a snob about music because I'm so intense about my production and sound, and because they knew I didn't like new music so much.
It doesn't take a lot to get me motivated. I'm a studio rat. When I was in high school and I would walk into a recording studio, it felt like this magical place, this temple, this womb that I could escape into.
I really didn't know a lot of rock 'n' roll until I moved to L.A. Before that, when I was in New York, I grew up listening mostly to R&B and soul and jazz.
