Basically, if you go looking for trouble, it'll come find you.
Walking round the Champs-Elysees late at night is the greatest time.
You can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that.
Garage music came up when people weren't paying attention.
Adele ain't soul.
American food is not what I'm used to - everything is like three portions.
My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.
John Legend is a cool guy. He likes to chill, is easy to talk to and hang out with. He's also inspiring on a musical level.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and feel like going straight back to bed. But I still have to get up and work, and I still have to take advantage of the chances I've been given in life.
I always say, 'There's a difference between cooked food and McDonald's.' Your mom's homemade dinner - you enjoy this more than you enjoy the fast food that comes along and goes, and I strive to make homemade dinner every time I put out an album.
I grew up in a house full of music. Everything from reggae and afro-beat to Zook and pop.
'Something Good' is a feel-good song. A reminder that you're dope and have something wonderful to offer life and yourself and the world.
I went to New York and Miami and hung out by the beach, and I love the American boys, so I wrote a song about it.
I've always dug Audrey Hepburn. I think she's one of the classic beauties.
No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.
I would say my greatest musical influences have been Ella Fitzgerald and Mary J. Blige.
I like to write about the things I care about. It's no fun to sing about things you don't like.
I wear and have worn scarves my entire life while traveling, working out, and now sometimes while performing, and not just on my head - I wear them around my neck and on my bag.
I think the one group I am trying to appeal to is the world. That would be big enough.
Collaboration is the way to go. It's very timely and fun to do.
