I'm Proud Of My Mentors. Ray Charles

As You Get Older, Your Experiences Become More Precious. Nothing Material Is Important To Me. It's People Who Are Precious.

I Like The Simple 'i Love Your Work' Letters. You Never Get Sick Of People's Appreciation. They Think They're Troubling You, But It's Lovely People Associate My Songs With Certain Moments In Their Lives.

The Whole Industry Evolves Around A Great Song

There Are Certain People Who Have Become Better Artists, But They're Brilliant At Marketing. I Think Someone Who's Been Phenomenal Like That Is Madonna.

A Lot Of My Success Comes From Black Music. It's Something I'm Very Proud Of.
