I spent my whole career playing it safe, being a gentleman, never doing anything controversial.
Women and their bodies are beautiful. Men are always gonna want to follow them around.
Being critical is not something I like to do. I like to appreciate and inspire.
Growing up, I loved Bill Cosby.
Inspiration and stealing are two completely different things. If somebody wants to make a song like "Stairway to Heaven" and writes a song on acoustic guitar, Led Zeppelin does not own every song that's on acoustic guitar for the rest of time.
I don't like labels, but I do have blue eyes and I'm soulful, so what am I going to do?
I love 'Game of Thrones.
I'm trying to create the world around myself to be a place of as much equality and openheartedness as possible.
I've been influenced heavily by great soul artists. I see myself as a soul singer. I sing from my soul - I write from my soul.
Like with acting, if you're charming or just good-looking, you might be able to get your foot in the door. But a lot of time with music, you actually have to kinda be able to sing.
You have to give love to get love.
I just want to say that dreams do come true. Don't ever give up on your dreams. Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer for some of us.
My songs don't play on pop radio; they play on black radio.
Bob Dylan and John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen, these are soul guys. Bruce Springsteen might not sing like Otis Redding, but he sings with white soul. He's singing and he's writing songs from the bottom of his gut.
