“It’s almost schizophrenic who I portray in my music.”

You always miss the chance to fall for someone else, Cause your heart only knows me.

I was everything an R&B singer wasn’t. I wasn’t in shape. I wasn’t a pretty boy.

Make me remember you like you remember me.

I wanna cut you outta my dreams, Till i am bleeding out.

I never put a face to my music, which actually made the music that much more mysterious.

When I’m faded I forget, I forget what you mean to me. I hope you know what you mean to me.

I feel like I’m the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married. The first thing would be kids.

Happiness exists when you don’t know a thing.

Baby I’m a pro at letting go, I love it when they come and go.

My purpose is to make exciting music, and I feel like I’ll be doing that for the rest of my life, so there’s no pressure.

To be recognized for the hard work my team and I put into ‘Starboy’ is an honor.

I wish I could make music about politics.

All I want for Christmas is a rock n roll electric guitar.

I remember hearing Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Big Bill Broonzy, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and not really knowing anything about the geography or the culture of the music. But for some reason it did something to me – it resonated.

It was stumbling on to really the bible of the blues, you know, and a very powerful drug to be introduced to us and I absorbed it totally, and it changed my complete outlook on music.

I like to experiment with my voice, besides music.

If your playing basic music, its just rock.

I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don’t really care about The Next Big Thing.

It’s taken me to be an older guy, an old man, to have an old man’s voice. Because I only liked old men’s voices. As a kid, I didn’t like pip-squeaked singers.
