I Played Classical As A Kid.

People See Me As Pretty Low Key In A Lot Of Ways. And For Me, Like, Even Choosing To Be John Legend And To Be Who I Am As A Star, As An Artist, It's A Risk 'cause I - You Know, I Graduated From College And Worked As A Management Consultant, And I Could Have Had This Very Kind Of Buttoned-up Life And Worn Suits To Work Every Day.

I Want To Move People, Stir Something Within Them That Makes Them Feel. That's What A Movie Should Do And An Actor Should Do, Make You Feel Something. I Think That's Why People Love Films So Much.

As A Young Black Boy, It Made Me Proud To See Black Leaders That Did Something Amazing And Made The World Change.

I Gravitate Toward People That Are A Little More Outrageous Than I Am. And We Complement Each Other Well.

I Was In An A Cappella Group In School, So It Particularly Helped Me Keep My Piano Chops Up.
