I think every artist strives for a record that crosses all energy, lines, boundaries or languages or barriers.

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

With the first album, I wanted to do so many different things, and I was fighting with myself to try and see if I was worthy enough to do it.

I'm used to traveling. I'm used to being in different areas of the world. Home is where my suitcase lands.

I remember being, like, the age of 7 and just always being in control of something or someone, a baby somewhere. I had lots of cousins and brothers, and we were all taught that's how you are, you know. Things don't just run themselves; you have to make them run.

I will never say I am committed to somebody unless I'm serious about that person.

I can get a call at 2 A.M., and the person on the other end is like: 'Sorry, did I wake you?' and I'm like: 'No, I'm wide awake.'

People have created feuds between me and other artists.

Labrinth is a super talented singer, producer, songwriter from London.

I'm signed to a U.S. label, and I didn't enjoy the 3 A.M. phone calls. I'm not a great sleeper, so I didn't enjoy being woken up.

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

People are getting ready for music that makes them feel happy again rather than being depressed at the way the world is going right now.
