?w?e're So Used To Having Everything We

I Just Want My Music To Measure Up To. Part Of It's Just Thinking About My Place In History And How This Music Is Going To Be Perceived, If It's Listened To 30, 40 Years From Now.

I Used Read About Dr. King A Lot As A Kid. Independently, From Being Assigned It Or Being Told By My Parents Or Anything, I Was Just Really Excited About Him. So I Just Started Reading About Him Very Young And Was Inspired By His Legacy And Looked To Him As A Role Model.

I Care More About The Fans In General, Just Making Sure They Enjoy What I Do. And Then Also I Kind Of Had This Kind Of Ideal Of The Kind Of Music I Want To Make And What I'm Aiming For Kind Of Creatively And Just The Quality Of The Music That I'm Trying To Make. And I Have That In My Head.

I Respect People Who Are Willing To Deal With Everything That Comes With Being A Politician, But I'm Not Willing To Deal With Half The Country Rooting For You To Fail. I'm A Singer; I Deal With Enough. But At Least Half The Country's Not Trying To Destroy Me.

For Me There's Insecurity When You're Releasing An Album Because You Spend All Of This Time Working On That One Thing And Then Once It's Done, It's Done. After You Put It Out There To The Public You Never Know Which Songs Are Going To Work Or Even If The Album Is Going To Work As A Whole So There Is A Little Bit Of Nervousness Around Predicting What The Numbers Will Be And If It's Going To Be Well-received.
