I Was Always The Front Man For

I Think Writers Are Prone To Hyperbole Sometimes.

If You Want The Film [la La Land ] To Represent All Things Jazz, It Does Not. You'll Be Disappointed By That. But, If You Just See It As One Guy's Point Of View, One Filmmaker's Point Of View, And One Story Among Many Stories That Can Be Told About Jazz, Then It's Not As Much Of An Issue.

I Wrote The Song "show Me" As A Prayer To God Asking Simple, Honest Questions About Life And Death And Why There Is So Much Suffering In The World. As I Grew With The Song I Realized I Shouldn't Limit These Questions Solely To God; I Should Ask Those Questions Of Others And Of Myself.

I Respect People Who Are Willing To Deal With Everything That Comes With Being A Politician, But I'm Not Willing To Deal With Half The Country Rooting For You To Fail. I'm A Singer; I Deal With Enough. But At Least Half The Country's Not Trying To Destroy Me.

I Think You're Always Policing Yourself By Trying To Do What You Think Would Be "cool" And Accepted By Other People, Until You Start To Figure Out Who You Really Want To Be. Growing Up Is An Ongoing Push-and-pull Of You Being Yourself And You Performing To What Society Expects You To Be.
