I never feel that far away from the tabloids.

I have never been interested in specific roles.

Success is based on music, not where you're from.

I believe in illusion - I don't believe in magic.

No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.

I'm not slimming down for anyone and losing my figure.

Reality really isn't as dull as it's cracked up to be.

Nobody's going to tell me to rap in an American accent.

When my career slowed, I knew deep down it wasn't over.

There is not enough faith in black music at a high level.

Garage music came up when people weren't paying attention.

My mom, for all intents and purposes, was a single parent.

The man for me has to have his own life or be as busy as me.

Basically, if you go looking for trouble, it'll come find you.

For four years, my mum allowed only church music in the house.

I've still gotta come across as happy when inside I feel crap!

I like time off because I also have a life outside of theater.

Collaboration is the way to go. It's very timely and fun to do.

Parents, raise your kids. Young men and women, raise your kids.

I'm never scared to ask a question or state the obvious, y'know.

The reality show 'America's Next Top Model' is my girlie pleasure.

I know people like spectacle, but I'm interested in moving people.

Walking round the Champs-Elysees late at night is the greatest time.

When I was growing up, hip-hop was still a pretty specialised thing.

You can be sexy, but respect yourself and make sure you get that respect.

I try not to judge because I've been judged a heck of a lot, and it don't feel nice.

I think the one group I am trying to appeal to is the world. That would be big enough.

I would say my greatest musical influences have been Ella Fitzgerald and Mary J. Blige.

I mean, there are times when you aren't working, but still believe that work will come.

I grew up in a house full of music. Everything from reggae and afro-beat to Zook and pop.

The Americans love me because I'm so completely unwilling to change my whole Britishness.

Law became boring, but like every job I've done, it helped prepare me for a career in music.

I'm just excited that I get to put out the music I love versus music just for the sake of it.

I want a TV series, I'm gonna do some acting jobs, I'm gonna do some Broadway jobs, everything!

I like to write about the things I care about. It's no fun to sing about things you don't like.
