Who told you I was a musician?

The blues ain't nothing but a good man feelin' bad.

I extract what I consider the best material from different sources. But often the material I perform comes from a very strange location in history, which are minstrel shows.

I'm sad and blue, about nobody but you. I told you that I loved you right from the start, you told me the same and now you try to break my little heart.

The only thing that interests me is history - reviewing the past and making something out of it.

Lonesome. Lonesome. I know what it means. Here all by my lonesome, dreaming empty dreams. Weary. Weary at the close of day, wondering if tomorrow brings me joy or sorrow.

I've got a very behind-the-scenes personality. I don't know how I became a performer. I like to stay discreet, out of the public eye, very low-key.

The silence between the notes is the good part for me. I find that to be a very important part of music that is often lacking.

I've always been against trying to make a movie like another movie. That's lame. It's already been done, so why do it again?

There are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.

I've never noticed that being nonsensical keeps things from happening. Don't you ever read about politics?

Writing is always a voyage of discovery.

My mom devotes so much of her time toward me. She's an artist, and my father is a doctor. I've been brought up in what you might call a pretty conventional family.

And I just thought, this is what I want to be. And I knew that dancing would be my chosen profession.
