I think I find new idols every day - someone that says something really inspiring, is successful, has character.

And the thing that I always tried to do with important singers when I met them was to sit down and record everything they knew, give them a first real run-through of their art.

I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.

I'm a big fan of skilled singers. Some of my favorites are Cee-Lo Green, Donny Hathaway, James Fauntleroy, and Kim Burrell.

My absolute idols growing up were Michael Jackson and Prince, and so, to get the stamp of approval from someone like Timbaland whom I know that these artists respect, that is a huge feat.

We're entertainers, not just singers!

Idolatry is really not good for anyone. Not even the idols.
