Silence is our enemy, and sound is our weapon.

I'm a believer that the more I'm giving, the happier I am, and the more beautiful my exterior will be.

I always think about the next generation and creating a different blueprint for them. That's my goal: to let them know there's another way.

I enjoy how women dressed in the 1920s with the shimmering jewels and rich feathers.

I love great music and if it doesn't move me I don't listen to it.

I'm inspired by the words: 'electrifying', 'epic', 'minimalistic', 'transcendent', 'timeless' and 'rock n' roll.'

Everything is about balance. You can't work, work, work, work without any play.

I love Fun. They're great guys. They're incredible artists and musicians.

When I was growing up, both my grandmothers would play the organ, and we would all sing.

I believe that imagination inspires nations. It's something that I live by.

I don't do a lot of collaborations that I don't believe in. Actually, I don't do any collaborations that I don't believe in.

Don't get high off praises, and don't get too low on critiques.

I will not be a slave to my image, nor will I be a slave to anyone else's interpretations of me,

Beauty is about enhancing what you have. Let yourself shine through.

My message is that I want to reach the people - the people who work each and every day.

I always carry my classic black-and-white tux and custom-made George Esquivel saddle shoes.

I listen to Prince on my iPad. And I use a Chords & Scales app to warm up before performing.
