The way I teach people to sing... I have them talk the lyric out until it sounds like something they really believe, like an actor with a monologue.

I feel like I am a real artist and I want to be able to feel what I am singing about. So when I sing, 'Leave (Get Out),' I have been through that. I think it is just a new generation, whether people are ready for it or not. Teenagers are dating.

Sometimes I just think that there are more things to be said to make the audience understand what I'm trying to do more. When I'm singing, I don't want you to just hear the melody. I want you to relive the story, because most of the songs have pretty good storytelling.

To sing is to bring to life; impossible if the words are mediocre, however good the music.

When someone gets passed that mic, and they know deep down inside that they wanna say something or sing something or produce something, but they don't do that, it's like killing your musical life.

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

Most of the people who act and sing do so for their own pleasure and that of their friends and family.

Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it.

Young people who are just starting out somehow need to let you know they know how to sing.
